Beautifying the Gateway to Downtown Madison since 1985
It rained and rained on Saturday, August 1, but seven intrepid volunteers showed up at The Gateway Garden, and weeded and pruned and picked up litter. We got soaked but had fun and accomplished alot.
Our next gardening event is scheduled for Saturday, September 5 from 9 am to noon.
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.

Shout-out to Tree House Arbor Science for chipping and hauling our brush away after our event on April 4. There was a lot - way more than could fit in someone's car. Tree House Arbor Science is a full service tree company that loves to help Madison groups like BSG keep making our community beautiful. Tree House wants to help with your trees too! With tree climbers on staff (one of whom is a volunteer with BSG!), Tree House can do your tree trimming, removals, cabling, tree healthcare and more. Ask your trees about them!
