The
Fort Lauderdale Garden Club has maintained the Sensory Garden at
the Lighouse
for the Blind
since the garden was first created. Most
months of the year one of the club's Circles or MAL groups, visit
the garden and provide services such as weeding, fertilization,
re-planting etc.
In the year 2006, the Club was recognized for
their ongoing work and was awarded the
Emerald
Award, Broward County's highest environmental award.
We support the partnership between National Garden Clubs and Habitat
for Humanity by
donating monetarily and physically by joining with
volunteers from other organizations
in landscaping Habitat homes in
Broward County.
