Join Us! 

Membership is open to all men and women interested in the areas of horticulture, conservation, floral, and landscape design.  Opportunities within the Club include working in the community gardens, fundraising activities, program planning, and regular meeting hostess duties.  Meetings are held at the First Presbyterian Church of Cadillac, 221 E. Harris, Cadillac. If you have questions, use the contact form on our website. 

Maybe you love gardening, flowers or environmental advocacy but do not have the time to join the Cadillac Garden Club. There are several ways you can support the Club and its work without being a member:
  1. Volunteer to work alongside Club members to weed, plant, trim, or spread mulch at the Sound Garden on Chestnut St., Cadillac (just east of Consumers Energy, 330 Chestnut St) along the Clam River. Members spend time there weekly in spring, summer and fall and help is always needed! We also have a standing "clean-up" day the 2nd Saturday of the month, June through October. Check dates under EVENTS. Individuals, families, schools, businesses, churches and organizations can help. The Sound Garden is a community treasure that has visitors in all seasons so help us out one time or on a recurring  basis (like one day a month). Contact Kathy at (231) 878-0492 or (231) 775-7762 to schedule a time to join us.
  2. Attend a monthly meeting that looks interesting to you. The upcoming agenda with program topics and information is listed under EVENTS. Most meetings/programs are free and guests are welcome. If this is not true it will be listed in the EVENTS posting. Workshops where attendees complete a flower related project usually have a small materials charge.
  3. Donate to the Cadillac Garden Club. We do the primary planning and maintenance of the Sound Garden and need funds to purchase plants, trees, flowers, mulch, musical items, and sculptures. Funds are also used to educate members and the community on topics related to our mission. Donations can be made to the Cadillac Garden Club by sending a check to CGC Treasurer, 4907 E. 46 Rd., Cadillac MI 49601. We also write grants to secure funds when we can.
  4. Attend the annual Cadillac Garden Club Holiday Home Tour the first Saturday of December. Information for the upcoming tour is posted under EVENTS. This is our only fundraising event.
