We give thanks for all generous donors over 15 years!

2009-2019, we worked steadily on creating the gardens. As folks noticed and came for tours, they would often give a monetary or in-kind donation. Several of these donors encouraged us to file for 501c3 status.

2019, 501c3 status was granted. Our donor base has grown to include quarterly donors (making the most difference), as well as a online donation program with many platforms. We’ve grown to appreciate MightyCause the most.

This is our final push to raise the funds needed to support:

1. Growing the Accessible Gardens (2026 Forest Floor Hardscape Switchback)
2. User-Friendly Labeling the Arboretum Trees, Shrubs, and Woody Vines
3. Creating an Artist-in-Residence Program, starting with Light Artist, Matt Belge
4. Offering Individual and Group Support, and Memory Cafe for Dementia Caregivers
