Community Involvement

The Geneva Garden Club is actively involved in volunteer activities around town. This past summer we had the pleasure of hosting several groups to the Fabyan Japanese Garden. In addition, our beautification efforts around town include maintaining Garden Club Park in conjunction with the Geneva Park District, designing and maintaining planters in and around town and more.
