Community Partners
Community Partners play a vital role in helping our gardens grow. They give as event sponsors, through philanthropy, and by sharing their expertise and services. This is our opportunity to showcase their generous support and to encourage you to visit them.
Edwardsville Rotary Club
When the Edwardsville Rotary Club invests in the community, it looks for projects that members can nurture and grow into a lasting resource. In 2010, the group found the perfect home to sow its mission of serving the Edwardsville area: The Gardens at SIUE.
Thanks to a financial gift from the 85-year-old service organization, gifts-in-kind from members and more than 100 hours of Rotarian volunteer service, The Gardens at SIUE is now home to the Prairie Portal Garden.
The one-acre garden was the first large-scale display installed as part of The Gardens master plan. Located at the intersection of the main path and the prairie area, it is one of the major features of The Gardens.
