Thank you for visiting our page and thanks for your support! 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 2025 plans include the following:

  •          Renovation and Expansion of the Children’s Garden area

  • Completion of Cacti Identification in the Desert Section of the Conservatory and begin work on cataloging other plants in the Conservatory

  • 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 2 generations of healthy butterflies and holding public release parties

  •          Adding new garden structures and other garden beautification

  •          Supporting Showcase open houses, at Easter, Mother’s Day, and the December Holiday Lights & Blooms event

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. 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, all at an economically friendly price: after all, a trip to the park and greenhouse is free and is easy on a family budget!
