Every walk through the garden, tour of the greenhouse, picnic in the sunshine and playdate at the park has been made possible through the generosity of people who believe in the mission of this special place. We appreciate your support! We welcome all kinds of financial support, whether a one-time donation or a lasting legacy made possible through a planned gift in your will or estate.

Friends of Noelridge is incorporated with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, tax-deductible status. We are an all-volunteer-powered organization, with an all-volunteer Board of Directors. Our goal is to help all residents and visitors enjoy the beauty that is Noelridge Park Greenhouse and Gardens and educate park patrons about the value of native plants and pollinators.

Each year, we select several projects that will help us meet those goals. Our future plans include the following:

  •          Renovation and Expansion of the Children’s Garden area

  • Memorial entranceway arch to commemorate the lives and generosity of our donors

  • Completion of the Conservatory Plant ID Project

  • Enhance Educational material for visitors and activities for children’s tours and events

  •        Setting up QR codes to allow for self guided tours explaining the importance of the 30 native plants & animals on the greenhouse mural

  •         Rearing and Releasing at least two generations of healthy monarch butterflies and holding public release parties

  •          Adding new garden structures and other garden beautification

  •          Supporting holiday showcases

Your donation via the Donate button or QR code below will assist our fundraising goals to help beautify and embellish the greenhouse and gardens at Noelridge Park. We also accept cash or checks which can be made in person at the greenhouse. FON believes that these improvements will be able to provide a place where the public can come to appreciate the beauty and serenity of plants, to connect with nature, and to experience educational opportunities on many levels.
