Alice’s Garden provides models of regenerative farming, community cultural development, and economic agricultural enterprises. The garden’s historical importance includes having once been the site of the Wisconsin Underground Railroad. It's a place for community to come together to cultivate the land and friendships. Garden Club adopted the labyrinth, where we have done planting, weeding and clearing of the path starting in the fall of 2020.
Lakeshore State Park is a 22-acre Wisconsin state park located on the shores of Lake Michigan in the city of Milwaukee. The only urban state park in Wisconsin, it offers visitors recreational activities and educational opportunities. We provide and help plant prairie grasses and native perennials to enhance the prairie.
GCGM members are involved with the Perennial Garden project at Hunger Task Force Farm. We
are helping to identify, restore and replace some of the existing plants. In partnership with Johnson& Nursery, a pollinator bed has been installed near the raised garden beds where children learn to garden. There is also interest in restoring the pond and surrounding area
within the garden.
