Blair Street Gardens

Beautifying the Gateway to Downtown Madison since 1985

News

We have several new Board members and volunteers - all energetic and creative - so Blair Street Gardens is set for a great gardening season.

You're looking at our new website! The old website was a challenge to maintain because it required coding expertise to keep it current. Fortunately, the new platform does not - all you have to do is type! And you can now make a donation on-line! - click Donate to the Gardens.

Volunteer

Our next volunteer event is SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 from 9 a.m. to noon. We'll be weeding and picking up litter at The Gateway Garden on Willy Street at John Nolen Drive. Then, time permitting, we'll move up the street to E. Wilson to work at Wilson Green.

We schedule volunteer events the FIRST SATURDAY of EVERY MONTH from 9 to noon through October. Put us on your calendar for September 6 and our last event on October 4. We might hold an event in November, and we'll update this website and Facebook and Instagram if we do.

We've already had events on April 5, May 3, June 7, July 5, and August 2 - weeding, mulching, pruning, planting and litter pick-up. We've had as many as 11 volunteers at an event which is fabulous.

Connect with us at info@blairstreetgardens.org to get on our email list or look for the sign a few days before the event at the garden we'll be working at. Come for an hour, two, or three.

Many hands make light work, as the saying goes.
