The Shoreview Friendship Garden

Donate now to the Shoreview Community Foundation to support the Shoreview Friendship Garden, and add your personalized commemorative brick to the Garden in recognition of your family or loved one that has made our community great!

The Friendship Garden is a signature  project of the Shoreview Community Foundation in partnership with the City of Shoreview. The garden represents our community spirit as welcoming and friendly to all. The centerpiece is a bronze sculpture work, “Dance with Me,”  depicting happy children at play, with the inspiring message: "Let's join hands in friendship and understanding."

This joyful art is encircled by a special brick paver path set among beautiful flowers, plants and benches for peaceful enjoyment and reflection. The project was dedicated at a ceremony on September 22, 2021. 

Proceeds from donations will benefit the philanthropic work of the Shoreview Community Foundation. Our mission is to maintain, enhance and enrich the quality of life in Shoreview by connecting the generosity of people with the evolving needs of the community.* To learn more about our work, visit: shoreviewcommunityfoundation.org.
