WE Need
Community supporT





This is YOUR park. The City of Ormond Beach and the Garden Club of the Halifax Country (GCHC) have planted the seeds for change through city in house commitment and start up funds.


The GCHC has also given start up funds plus written and received grants to transform this park into an all native plant and tree park with an old Florida feel. Did you know the pandemic not only slowed any construction work down but it also lead to a rise in prices for materials, plants and trees?



What Can You Do?





Donate to Vadner Park!


Donations will be used for trees, plants, entry way arbors, childrens’ stilts and QR code signs to identify plants and trees. This park is an educational experience for all who enter.
