This $11,300 is supplemented by $4,000 in additional funds raised by grant recipients. Funding greening projects in our greater neighborhood is a core function of the Bolton Hill Garden Club. It is supported by membership dues and fundraising during sponsored plant sales and events throughout the year, as well as a contribution from the Bolton Hill Community Association.
