The Boulder Garden Club members are very active in our community, and we take great pride in the numerous community projects we complete each year. Please note that a donation towards our club helps us continue to provide our gardening services to these amazing organizations and enriches our community.
Current Projects
Meals on Wheels (MOW)
MOW was started in 1969 and delivers meals to people who have limitations and cannot cook for themselves. BGC bouquets are for those who have a birthday during the week they receive a meal. Each year more than 200 birthday bouquets are supplied and delivered to the Boulder Meals on Wheels Program. *In 2025, we donated 275 Birthday bouquets!
The club regularly receives notes of gratitude and appreciation from the recipients or a family member. These notes are very much appreciated.
We have been involved with Growing Gardens for over 26 years and feel that this organization is a wonderful non-profit that creates "community" through gardening. They offer gardening education summer events for children ages 4 through 10. They also have community garden spaces, programs, and classes for children and adults, make food contributions, and now sponsor 7 community gardens in Boulder County.
We are proud to support The Cultiva Youth Project - a leadership program for youth ages 14-18, where participants manage an urban organic farm, growing produce for the local community while developing leadership and job skills. In Boulder, participants grow produce for Growing Gardens’ CSA program, providing weekly vegetable shares to the community. In Longmont, the harvest is distributed through local donations, free on-farm programs, and a low-cost farm stand.
Our members also volunteer to help with the Children's Peace Garden and with other activities throughout the year.
Garden To Table
Our club makes donations to support their amazing programs to support over 200 teachers at 18 schools in the Boulder Valley area, and through this program, they will bring more than 6,300 students out to their school gardens each year. They offer hands-on lessons across academic content areas such as math, literature and science. They also provide all garden materials and management, volunteer coordination, teacher and parent volunteer training, weekly garden checkups, and completion of seasonal tasks to ensure the gardens are thriving.
East Boulder Senior Center Pocket Garden
In 2004, the BGC adopted a pocket garden at the entrance to the East Senior Center. Barb Gardner has planted and maintained this garden over the years.
Fort Logan National Cemetery
Our members participate in a yearly garden clean-up at the Visitors Center located at the entrance to Fort Logan National Cemetery. Our work includes a spring clean-up of the roses and other perennials at the main entrance; we are honored to help maintain these flower beds and show our appreciation for the Veterans and their families.
