Welcome.
The Mahtomedi Garden Club is a group of
individuals who are passionate about growing beautiful flowers and
learning new things about gardening. We invite you to explore our
site and learn more about the role we play in the community,
opportunities for gardening education, membership, and our special
programs and events.
MGC awards 2009 community grants The
Mahtomedi Garden Club voted April 14 to award two grants: the first, $125, goes to
Wildwood kindergarteners to plant spring bulbs while the second, for $250, will
be used by high school students--the Mahtomedi Service Partnership--to plant
native Minnesota flowers at the high school entrance on Stillwater road. Many
thank to those who support MGC events like the plant sale and garden tour to
allow funding for these community grants.
MGC awards local grant The Mahtomedi Garden Club
has awarded a 2008 Community Beautification Grant to the Friends of
Bertha Court Park. This neighborhood group is seeking to improve an
area adjacent to Katherine Abbott Park and has spent the past three
years removing buckthorn from the site. The funds will be used to
purchase native shrubs and flowers.
