The Friends was formed for the express purpose of providing assistance to park staff. Eden Gardens State Park has a historic home, extensive gardens and grounds, a picnic area on Tucker Bayou and an event pavilion, all of which require considerable elbow grease to keep in show condition. The Friends have contributed tens of thousands of hours of lovingly given labor to Eden Gardens, and they have raised the funds needed for maintenance and improvements throughout the park.
We certainly welcome new members who wish to help us keep this historic place so beautiful. Currently, the Friends numbers about 300 enthusiastic helpers.
