As the region’s leading horticultural resource, Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden sustained its commitment to education. The Garden enriched the lives of 25,676 children who visited through general admission last year, as well an estimated 4,780 students impacted by teacher workshops and 10,693 involved in one or more group programs. Whether through day camps, field trips, family adventures, or active-learning activities – our next generation grew in their understanding and appreciation of the natural world. Likewise, more than 3,000 adults participated in the
collaboration, advocacy, and action. We provided professional support, institutional guidance, and educational resources for local greening initiatives, community projects, and other ventures compatible with the Garden’s core mission, vision, and values. Garden staff and representatives were involved in discussions about significant urban greening projects, from Monroe Park to CenterStage’s neighboring property on Broad Street. We trained educators and parents on ways of using schoolyards as learning landscapes. Working alongside agencies like the “Excellent instructor—sooo much fun!” Participant in Nature Journaling Class
various workshops, lectures, professional development seminars, tours, and special symposia. Topics ranged from gardening and propagation to floral design and photography—ensuring educational offerings for most every age and interest. The Lora M. Robins Library garnered increased awareness as the Botanical Book Club entered a second year, and as visitors enjoyed the additions of Wi-Fi access and an online book catalog.
Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth, we encouraged development of school and community gardens. And with corporate partners and Virginia Commonwealth University’s Rice Center, we helped bring attention to regional issues of watershed protection and careful management of precious, limited water resources. True to our mission, Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden enlightened and inspired our visitors, members, colleagues, and community.
Reaching “beyond our walls,” the Garden also was recognized as a center for Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden | Honor Roll of Donors 2010–2011
