The Garden Fund was created to meet the botanical needs of our public green spaces, particularly at Pinecrest Gardens, a topographically diverse historic garden. The Fund is comprised of a group of volunteers who appreciate the vital importance of preserving and enhancing local places of beauty and tranquility, and who believe that public gardens need extra help to survive and thrive. Since its inception in 2007, the Fund has raised money through donors and special events and has invested more than $175,000 on 35 botanical improvement projects throughout the 14-acre historic property. Most recently the Fund has made a generous donation to transform the dry garden that overlooks Swan Lake, the Gardens’ most iconic and picturesque site, and a revamping of the Caribbean Garden.
