About Monumental Floral Gardens
About Monumental Floral Gardens
Our neighborhood has been growing and changing dramatically in the last few years. Our property values are higher than they've ever been, and our neighborhood is a desirable in-demand location for individuals and families looking to buy and rent in this area. With nearby shopping and restaurants, great schools, a walkable neighborhood, and close proximity to so much, it's no wonder the MFG Neighborhood is popular!
In an attempt to create an inclusive and transparent, officially recognized neighborhood association, we registered with the Virginia State Corporation Commission, filed with the IRS for status as a registered 501(c)(4) non-profit, tax exempt corporation, and are collaborating with Henrico County departments and leadership.
We want to invite all neighbors to join this new association. We want you to get involved, we want to hear your voice, and we want to help advocate for neighborhood priorities and enhancements that will make this an increasingly great place to live.
We want to hear from you! Together we can make Monumental Floral Gardens Neighborhood Association a shining example of the kind of modern neighborhood association that other neighborhoods can follow as a model.

Who is eligible for membership?
Who is eligible for membership?
Any household living within the boundaries of Monument Ave, Libbie Ave, West Broad Street, and Willow Lawn Drive, can register for membership within the MFG Neighborhood Association. This includes both homeowners and renting neighbors residing within our neighborhood limits. We are intentional about developing a community not based on home ownership, but based instead on the community boundaries within which we all live. Best practices of other neighborhood associations in our region recommend including both home owners and renters as association members.
To vote in elections, a household must have paid their annual dues of $20, and each household address will receive only one vote.
Note: Businesses located within the neighborhood boundaries are not considered residents of the neighborhood, and will not have voting privileges in neighborhood association matters.
Is this an official neighborhood association for the area?
Is this an official neighborhood association for the area?
Yes. This group is an official neighborhood association for the Monumental Floral Gardens community. We began working with the Henrico County Department of Community Revitalization in 2020 to become a recognized neighborhood association. In January 2021, the Monumental Floral Gardens Neighborhood Association was officially registered with the Virginia State Corporation Commission, ratified articles of incorporation, adopted initial bylaws, registered with the Internal Revenue Service, declared our intent to be designated by the IRS as a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization (non-profit and tax exempt), and registered with Henrico County.
We are officially recognized as a neighborhood/civic association at the federal, state, and local level. Additionally, we're collaborating with County officials to enhance and update a resource guide for other developing neighborhood associations to use as a guide. We're proud to be an example that other communities can reference to launch their own neighborhood association!
