We’re pleased to share an update on the Raise the Garden Campaign, our initiative to transform the Bay Bluffs outdoor spaces into welcoming, accessible living environments for residents, visitors and staff. 

Thanks to early gifts from community members, businesses, organizations, and Friends of Hospice of Little Traverse Bay, we are now more than 75% of the way toward our $150,000 goal—a milestone that brings us closer to beginning this exciting project.

Plans include reshaped and raised garden beds, expanded patios and walkways, shaded seating, and a refreshed courtyard—all designed to bring comfort, beauty, and opportunities for connection. These enhancements will make nature and outdoor activity more accessible for everyone who calls Bay Bluffs home.

As we enter the final stretch of fundraising, new naming opportunities are available for families and friends who would like to make a lasting impact. You’ll find enclosed details and photos highlighting these opportunities.

Every contribution, no matter the size, moves us closer to completing this vision. If you feel inspired to take part, we welcome your support in helping bring these spaces to life.
