Attendees will witness the efforts of local gardeners, including native plantings, pollinator-friendly plants, colorful blooms, and eco-friendly features.

“As a past co-president of the Whitefish Bay Garden Club, I have seen firsthand the impact of our environmental work and the dedication of our members. This garden walk celebrates our community’s green thumbs while also supporting vital environmental initiatives. I encourage residents to join us to discover how small spaces can make a big impact and contribute to the preservation and beautification of our environment,” said Supervisor Anne O’Connor.

Founded in 1958, the Whitefish Bay Garden Club is a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring an interest in horticulture, protecting natural surroundings, and promoting civic beautification. Its mission includes using sustainable methods and innovative land management practices to enhance the beauty and health of the community.

Proceeds from the garden walk will support various community projects, including the restoration and maintenance of butterfly and pollinator habitats, community sustainability education, removal of invasive plants in Village parks, advocacy for sustainable land management, and improving Lake Michigan’s water quality. Additional initiatives include scholarships for students in environmental fields, support for Whitefish Bay as a designated Bird City and Monarch City, youth gardening programs, participation in Green Day in the Bay, and support for the local farmers market.
