Since its founding, the Garden Conservancy has done more than any other national institution to save and preserve America's exceptional gardens for the education and enjoyment of the public.
An overview of our programs
Working in partnership with individual garden owners as well as public and private organizations, the Conservancy provides horticultural, technical, management, and financial expertise to sustain these fragile treasures. It helps ensure long-term stewardship of these natural assets, which are essential to the aesthetic and cultural life of our communities.
In October 2009, the National Trust for Historic Preservation presented the Garden Conservancy the prestigious Trustees' Award for Organizational Excellence. The award acknowledged the Conservancy's accomplishments in preserving major gardens across America, many of which are National Historic Landmarks or on the National Register of Historic Places. The Ruth Bancroft Garden in Walnut Creek, California, the Conservancy's first preservation project, is now a thriving public garden. The extraordinary topiary garden created by self-taught artist Pearl Fryar in Bishopville, South Carolina, is transitioning from private to nonprofit ownership and management. On San Francisco's Alcatraz Island, the Conservancy is spearheading the rehabilitation of the historic gardens that played a powerful role in the lives of people who inhabited this harsh environment. In 2010, the Conservancy assumed ownership of the Chase Garden in Orting, Washington, and is planning for its future as a public garden.
Since 1995, Garden Conservancy's Open Days program has spread the garden preservation message to a broad base of people by providing access to some of America's finest private gardens, a rare opportunity to enjoy beautiful spaces not normally open to the public. Each year, hundreds of garden owners from coast to coast open their magnificent spaces to more than 75,000 visitors.
