The Southfield Parks and Garden Club (SP&GC) is currently seeking new members and donors to assist with the Club’s many community outreach and beautification activities throughout the city.
The Club was formed in 2005 as a charitable community service organization comprised of volunteers who work to improve and beautify the city. The Club regularly conducts litter pick-ups, plantings, cleaning up landscapes for elderly residents, and clearing and mapping city park trails. SP&GC broke ground on their newest venture, the Emmanuel Community Farm, on March 27 at Emmanuel Lutheran Church located at 23425 Lahser Road, north of Nine Mile Road. The all-volunteer farm uses organic seed and agriculturally sustainable farming methods to enable the harvest of a wide variety of produce that will go to the City’s Human Services Department and Forgotten Harvest for distribution to those in need.
The Southfield Parks and Garden Club membership and projects reflect a wide cross-section of residents, skill levels and interests. Gardening enthusiasts and community-minded individuals of all backgrounds are encouraged to join and participate as their schedule permits. SP&GC holds monthly meetings and work days March through October. The Southfield Parks and Garden Club is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Membership is annual, March through November, with dues of $25, or $200 for lifetime membership. Dues are tax-deductible as are gifts and donations.
