Join us an other volunteers to help us with Spring Cleanup! This is a perfect Family Friendly Volunteer Opportunity, and also a good opportunity for teens who need community service hours. If you have garden gloves or rakes, please bring them with you for your personal use. This is a great way to get some fresh air and spend a lovely day outside and also do some good for your community! We sincerely appreciate your help. We are a primarily volunteer based non-profit with a very very small staff. We rely on volunteers to assist us in maintaining the gardens and and to help us rejuvenate the gardens on all levels. Please join us!
Other volunteer opportunities are available if you cannot assist on March 26th. We are looking for Cabin Hosts for our season, someone to assist our wedding coordinator with wedding rehearsals on Fridays from 4-7, an educational program volunteer to assist on the day of the events, and also volunteers who want to work directly in the gardens.
The Friendship Gardens Board of Directors thanks you!

Mission Statement
Friendship Gardens is a 105 acre botanical sanctuary that enriches the community through programs that promote environmental stewardship and appreciation of the arts. Our natural and cultivated spaces are the perfect settings for unique experiences that forge lifelong connections between people and nature.
Description
Friendship Botanic Gardens (a volunteer-based, not-for-profit organization) is a community treasure and an oasis of formal gardens and nature trails tucked in an old-growth forest surrounding Trail Creek in Michigan City, Indiana. F orested woodlands, sprawling open spaces, and cultivated gardens spill over 100 acres of land that have been a tourist destination since 1936. Gardens are tucked throughout the beautiful valley of Trail Creek.
Visit Lake Lucerne, a spring fed lake and home to muskrats, geese and turtles. The woods are home to deer, raccoons, groundhogs, squirrels, foxes, coyotes and wild turkeys. The songs of birds are heard in the quiet of this valley surrounded by hills.
The grounds are accessed by walking earthen trails and lawns. Self-guiding garden tours and nature trails delight and inform visitors. Dogs are welcome but must be leashed at all times.
The Board of Directors of Friendship Botanic Gardens are launching monumental efforts to revitalize and rejuvenate the Gardens.
We have Free Eco Oriented Community Programs throughout the year. We have around 3 miles of hiking trails also. We host the annual Lyric Opera event, and have initiated our annual Easter Egg Hunt on Easter, as well as our new annual Haunted Trails event in October.
