Who are The Friends of Manito?
The Friends of Manito is a non-profit group that supports Manito Park by providing funds to improve the park. Since 1990, the group has raised $560,554, funding over 46 projects, including the lower playground equipment, the Duncan Garden gazebo, the Rose Garden pergolas, the upper park sprinkler system, the "Walk of Hope" sidewalk, and most of the park signage to name a few.
The funds are raised through three major plant sales, the Tropical Plant Sale in March, the Spring Plant Sale in June and the Fall Plant Sale in August or September.
Approximately 100 volunteers work from February to September to prepare and host these events. We love our volunteers and we thank them for making Manito Park a city jewel.
