2026 Green Grants


    The Garden Club of St. Louis was thrilled to award $50,000 in Green Grants in 2026, the largest amount in our history. These monetary awards went to local organizations whose mission aligns with ours. Recipients included City Academy, Tower Grove Park, Ladue’s Deer Creek Preserve, Earthways Center’s Native Plant Initiative, Open Space STL, EarthDance Organic Farm School, Whitney Harris World Ecology Center, Brilliant Angels Academy, Seed St. Louis, and Greenwood Cemetery. This is the sixth year of this annual granting program.

    EarthDance Organic Farm School

      GCSL members lent a hand harvesting produce - including 36 pounds of mustard greens - for the EarthDance Organic Farm School's "Pay What You Can Farm Stand" in the 2025 season. This cutting-edge initiative has become not only a source of affordable fresh food but also a community hub that has strengthened the surrounding neighborhoods. In addition to receiving a GCSL Green Grant, EarthDance was awarded the Garden Club of America's Common Ground Collaboration Grant in 2025, thanks in part to the GCSL's recommendation.

      Tornado Relief Fund


        In May of 2025, GCSL members collected a truckload of supplies for those affected by the recent tornado that decimated a large swath of St. Louis. Donations included canned goods, personal care items, lumber, tools, brooms, cleaning supplies, first-aid kits, and more. All was delivered to the St. Louis Urban League for distribution to those in need.
