Where Does This Money Go?
Once we pay for the food and drinks, all profits go to park restoration projects. Here are some of the changes made possible by funds raised by last year’s garden party:
- Hoses and more to keep baby trees alive through the historic drought
- Identified poison ivy throughout the main arboretum for removal
- Planted more perennials at the entrance gardens
