Congratulations to WFB High School senior Dominic Tighe, the 2026 recipient of the Isabel Lillie Environmental Stewardship Scholarship!

The scholarship honors the memory of Whitefish Bay Garden Club member Isabel Lillie and the Whitefish Bay women who founded Riveredge Nature Center . The goal is to support the creation of future environmental stewards, conservationists, sustainability professionals and scientists dedicated to the preservation of our planet’s resources.

This years recipient Dominic was described as a leader in class, consistently making connections with concepts he learned in earlier courses such as biology and chemistry, as well as connections to history and economics he learned in our social studies courses. We wish him well in his studies at the University of Wisconsin! Go Badgers !

Growing a Greener Village... One Garden at a Time
About Us
​

Since 1958, the Whitefish Bay Garden Club has been protecting natural spaces for wildlife and people, beautifying civic grounds, and stimulating an interest in horticulture and home gardens. In 1968 the Club reached outside of our community to found Riveredge Nature Center in Saukville, a growing and thriving space for learning and experiences grounded in our natural world.

​Recently we have established several projects in our village: incredible enhancements to Silver Spring Park, weeding Klode Park, becoming a Bird City and a Monarch City, supporting Bay Day, establishing the Cahill Butterfly Garden and the Lydell Community Center garden, 
remembering our neighbors facing hardships through our Forget-Me-Not program, and hosting the first Garden Walk in the Bay in 2017 (and one to come Saturday July 20, 2024!).

We are committed to continuing our mission into the next decade: Growing a greener village… One garden at a time.
