Funds raised from our garden tours have been allocated to many community projects, including the restoration of the walled garden at Yew Dell Botanical Gardens, construction of a cypress tupelo swamp at Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest, restoration of the Baringer Spring area in Cherokee Park, funding the Seed-to-Table project at the Cabbage Patch Settlement House, and construction of two tree rooms for the Louisville Waterfront Development Corporation.
In recognition of our 75th anniversary, the club gave $50,000 to the “Children in the Dell” Project at Yew Dell Botanical Gardens. This project also received a $7,500 Founders’ Fund Award from The Garden Club of America. Most recently our members voted to contribute $75,000 to The Parklands of Floyds Fork, 21st Century Parks, over the next five years. The Glenview Garden Club and its members are proud supporters of the Louisville community.

The Glenview Garden Club's 2011 Town and Country Garden Tour was a great success with three gardens located in Indian Hills and, for the first time, three gardens in downtown Louisville. The gardens focused on the green use of the environment and included two green roofs, a vertical garden, an organic vegetable bed and lovely perennial beds with natural lawns.
Since 1995, the outstanding and beautiful, informative, and educational garden tours have attracted attendees from Louisville's surrounding areas. Glenview Garden Club members volunteer, plan, and support this effort and look forward to another garden tour in the future. Money raised from the 2011 tour will fund the hardwood trees that will surround The Egg Lawn in The Parklands of Floyds Fork, 21st Century Parks.
