The Public Gardens Fund supports nonprofit and publicly owned gardens and parks through its designated grants to the Eau Claire Area Master Gardener Volunteer Association and the Eau Claire Garden Club. Priorities include :

• landscaping with WI native trees, shrubs, and perennials
• planting flower gardens of all kinds
• maintaining or enhancing existing plantings in nonprofit and publicly-owned gardens and parks.

Note:  Public gardens are the gardens at historical sites, nonprofit agencies, community gardens, and city, county, college and university gardens and parks. Also included are botanical & arboretum gardens, nature preserves, state and national parks, and zoos.

Any nonprofit with a project that aligns with the Public Gardens Fund's purpose can be considered for funding by submitting a request to the Eau Claire Area Master Gardener Volunteer Association or the Eau Claire Garden Club.
