By almost any measure, we have grown. Our volunteer hours, a key metric to the health and vibrancy of any non-profit, grew to record levels over the past twelve months. Our recent Big Bugs at the Garden exhibit allowed us to “cultivate” memberships, daily attendance, and school children visits. We “sprouted” a new Nursery at the Garden and we are benefitting from the retail sales that accompany it. The 18th season of Live at the Garden season enjoyed its highest attendance levels ever. Additionally, we “propagated” a brand new music series called Wolf at the Garden which focuses on newer, up-and-coming acts in a festival type setting. During the same time, we developed and adopted a new three year Strategic and Horticulture Plan which will plot our course for the immediate future. These plans are the fertilizer that, when properly applied, will provide the nourishment needed for our continued growth. Nourish is a word you will see a lot of from us in the next year or two as we gather resources needed to continue our growth, implement our plans, and make your Garden all it can be. With Thanksgiving for all of your support! Sincerely, Vance Lewis Board President Michael D.
