NGC Path of Success Fundraiser
National Garden Club is planning an addition to their beautifully landscaped grounds at NGC headquarters, located in St. Louis, Missouri. The addition is a winding path that will lead visitors around the outer perimeter of the property and will link with the Missouri Botanical Gardens. Fifty-one garden club state sections will be showcased along the pathway, with pavers purchased by garden club members, or garden clubs, added to their state’s section of the path. Members of the public and businesses can also purchase pavers. Donations are accepted, as well.
The ¼ mile-long path will be made with pavers 4×8 inches in size that are engraved with up to three lines of text. This is a wonderful way to honor special garden club members. Engraving a paver with your club’s name and the date your club was established is a way to honor all members of your club.
The cost for a paver, 4×8 inches, is $250. The cost of a state paver, 12×12 inches, is $500. The completion date for the path is estimated to be September 2024.
