Patron's Path

Brochure for your brick on the Patron's Path

The Elk Rapids Garden Club created an engraved brick path to honor the friends, organizations and families of Elk Rapids. We invite others to join us in placing a brick on this lovely pathway. The first phase was installed in November 2009. There will be a community dedication in the spring.

Personalized bricks create a distinctive elegant impression and are a unique way to honor someone.

Bricks may be inscribed with names, birthdays, in commemoration of events or dates, in honor of____”, or in memory of_____”. You may purchase a brick for yourself, your family, or your business. An engraved brick is also an excellent gift!

The purchase of your personalized brick will help provide funds for maintaining the Elk Rapids Community Gardens.

For years to come your participation in the Elk Rapids Garden Club Patron’s Path will be visible to all who come to appreciate the natural beauty that surrounds us.

For more information about the Elk Rapids Garden Club, a non-profit corporation, and the Patron’s Path, please visit the Chamber of Elk Rapids for a brochure and order form. Pamphlets to purchase bricks for your family or business are also available at the following places; the Government Center on Bridge Street, the ER Library, Blue Heron Gallery, Mulaly's, and the Twisted Fish.

The Elk Rapids Garden Club Patron’s Path is located in the Pedestrian Bridge Garden on River Street in downtown Elk Rapids. In the Fall of 2009 the Village of Elk Rapids reconstructed the street scape of River Street. Working with the Village, the Garden Club was able to create the Patron’s Path. The Pedestrian Bridge Garden is one of the ten gardens maintained by garden club members. This garden is located at the entrance to the bridge that goes to the Elk Rapids Library.
