The Elk Rapids Garden Club (ERGC) has  volunteers that cultivate a legacy of community gardens. We provide garden club members with educational opportunities in all aspects of gardening and floral design. 

ERGC aids in the protection and conservation of natural resources, promotes civic beautification and encourages the improvement of roadsides and parks. The members of the garden club practice what we have learned by maintaining and cultivating ten heritage Village gardens.

Join our garden club today and share the gardening joy.

Our Mission: The purpose of this club is to protect our environment, to beautify our homes and village, to cultivate a taste for knowledge, to foster a love of plants and trees, and to nurture friendships.

Message from the President
 

It is a  privilege for me to take the position of 2009 Elk Rapids Garden Club President and follow in the footsteps of the inspirational women who have previously held this role for the past 78 years.

Our Club has a dynamic membership who bring enthusiasm, knowledge and drive to make a difference in our community.  This will be an exciting year, full of opportunity to grow through the multitude of activities and educational programs offered each month.  Enjoy!

Your officers, standing and resource committee members and I look forward to serving and working with the Club members in the coming year. “The highest reward for man’s toil is not what he gets for it, but what he becomes by it”.

Fondly,

Carolyn Strohm
