Beautifying the Gateway to Downtown Madison since 1985
Thanks to the six volunteers who gardened at The Gateway Garden on May 2. We pruned evergreens, weeded, planted, picked up litter, and made cages to protect new plants from pesky rabbits.
Next event is Saturday, June 6 from 9 am to noon at Wilson Green on E. Wilson Street. Look for the sandwich board sign (above).
Add the 1st Saturday of every month to your calendar so you can be sure to volunteer. We rely on volunteers to maintain the gardens - without you, the gardens couldn't exist.
Hope to see you in 2026!

Many hands make light work, as the saying goes.

The Annual Meeting on Wednesday, March 25 was an energetic and creative gathering. We made plans for 2026, including revamping Wilson Green and improving our social media presence. More details to come.
You're looking at our new website! The old website was a challenge to maintain because it required expertise in coding 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.
