Growing Together Since 1987
Welcome to the Portland MI Garden Club!
We are a community of plant lovers who share a passion for gardening, learning, and growing together.
Founded in 1987, our club brings together over 50 gardeners of all experience levels—from beginners planting their first seeds to seasoned growers with years of expertise, including some who have completed the MSU Extension Master Gardener Program. We believe gardening is more than a hobby; it is a way to connect with nature, build friendships, and give back to our community.
Throughout the year, we host workshops, guest speakers, garden tours, annual Geranium sale, and community beautification projects. We are responsible for the flowers you see at Scout Park, Burman Square, along Bridge and Maple Streets, the library fountain, downtown clock, and more.
