Every May it holds the Garten Markt. A spring celebration festival plant sale. It is the major fundraiser for the year. 100% of the proceeds go directly back into the German Village community to support gardens, planters, concerts and educational programs.

German Village Garten Club's President, Jane Forbes, recent garden trip to England inspired her to try out some of the ideas she saw there in the Garten Club’s projects in German Village. Particularly at Frank Fetch Park, little hints of the Great British Gardens are popping up and will inspire next year’s plans.
