The Garden strives to be an indispensable resource in the Southwestern United States for helping individuals learn about Sonoran Desert plants as well as desert plants of the world, so that they will conserve and protect the natural world for the benefit of future generations.

Every element of the Garden will reflect excellence, beauty, and inspiration to transform the visitor experience into one of discovery and meaning about deserts and desert plants.

the year in review Dear Friends, On February 12, 2009, the Garden celebrated its 70th anniversary. If only our founder, Gertrude Divine Webster, could have been there we are sure she would have been pleased with what the Garden has become!

The highlight of the year was Chihuly: The Nature of Glass. Opening in November 2008 and running through May 2009 the exhibit exceeded all expectations with respect to aesthetics, attendance and Garden memberships.

As we go to print, the Garden is full to capacity each day and we estimate that more than 527,000 people will have seen the exhibit by the time it closes.

This represents an increase of more than 100% over typical attendance for the Garden.

How appropriate it is that this year we celebrate both our 70th birthday and a successful conclusion to the Tending the Garden Campaign:

– The Tending the Garden Campaign exceeded its $16 million goal by raising nearly $18 million for the Garden’s endowment, exhibits, education and research programs.

– The Ottosen Entry Garden, a beautiful new mosaic of intimately designed garden spaces opened in November. The plantings in the Basin Gardens are woven seamlessly into the Canal Gardens, which in turn mesh beautifully with the Terrace Gardens. Together these spaces create a welcoming “lobby” for our living museum featuring the finest collection of cacti and succulents in the world.

– Planning for the Garden’s future proceeded full speed ahead as the design for the new Berlin Agave Yucca Forest, which opens this coming November, was created. Additionally, staff, board and volunteers all participated in the process of developing and refining the Garden’s next five-year strategic plan for operations.

Many, many people contributed to the success the Garden has enjoyed this year.

In particular, we want to thank all of our volunteers for the more than 70,000 hours they donated to the Garden this year, all our staff who worked such long and busy hours to make the Chihuly exhibit a success, and all the members of our Board of Trustees for their dedication, guidance and stewardship in leading the Garden.

With best wishes,

Desert Botanical Garden’s 70-year commitment to excellence in education, research, exhibition, and the conservation of desert plants is reflected in the evolution of its community-based programs.

With support from members and the community, the Garden has invested in its staff, endowment and capital infrastructure. It has developed new programs for all ages and mounted dynamic public exhibits in its efforts to remain a vital community resource, a popular destination for both local residents and tourists, and a respected scientific botanical leader.

Sonoran Desert Adventure Program

Kindergarten-8th grade students participated in the Sonoran Desert Adventure Field Trip Program utilizing the Garden as an outdoor classroom that encouraged investigation of the Sonoran Desert.

“ I think that plant is like the hummingbird’s Village Inn.”

Teen Environmentalists Exploring Nature (TEEN)

Engaging teenagers continues to be a priority for the Garden. TEENs helped staff Kids’ Corner each weekend, provided interpretation for Garden visitors with hands-on activities, and participated in the eradication of invasive plant species.

“ Oh look! That agave changed its mind and turned blue!”

Lifelong Learning

Photography classes were in great demand this year. From the months of February to May, 43 photography classes were offered, compared to five in the previous year. All other areas of adult programming remained strong with many running at capacity. Classes and outings for families continued a trend of steady increase in participation, highlighting the newfound love of the Garden by families.

With funding from The Dorrance Family Foundation, the key position of conservation biologist was added.

The Garden’s curator of the herbarium, other research staff and outside collaborators had an extremely productive year. The curator and Garden researchers were invited by the New York Botanical Garden to write the allinclusive treatment of the cactus family for Intermountain Flora, a series of monographs that includes all plant families of the region. That writing project is near completion and has served as a springboard for another needed book project, a scientific monograph of the cacti of Arizona.

Garden researchers shared knowledge about desert plants and arid environments with many different groups and governmental agencies involved in regional conservation and landmanagement efforts such as:

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH T h e G a r d e n i s a l e a d e r i n t h e s c i e n t i f i c c o m m u n i t y, s p e c i a l i z i n g i n t h e c o n s e r vat i o n a n d p r e s e r vat i o n o f t h e p l a n t s o f t h e S o n o r a n D e s e r t.

The principal asset of the Garden’s research program is its scientific staff, and increasing staff remained a priority this year. With funding from The Dorrance Family Foundation, the key position of conservation biologist was added.

The new biologist’s studies include the genetic variation within and between plant populations – information that is increasingly important to plant conservation efforts.

10

Research staff represented the Garden and presented work at several scientific conferences, including the Fifth Southwest Rare Plant Conference in Salt Lake City. Presentations included information discovered about the evolution of cacti through DNA analysis.

– Conducting ecological research at the Agua Fria National Monument north of Phoenix. Part of that research is focused on investigating potential ways to ecologically restore areas that have experienced considerable damage due to imprudent use of these lands in the past.

– Participating in cooperative efforts with the National Park Service, the U.S. Forest Service, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and the Hualapai and Havasupai tribal nations to continue to ensure that knowledge gained through research is shared with organizations and people of the region.

– Ensuring knowledge and information is widely available through the creation of a new on-line library catalog – at present 4,000 titles have been cataloged.

The exhibition, which included 17 major pieces situated among the Garden’s trails and displays, transformed the visitor experience with a new aesthetic of color and light in the desert setting.

The twelve foot tall Chihuly Sun greeted visitors as they entered the new Ottosen Entry Garden and vibrant Chihuly chandeliers dazzled from the rafters of the new Sybil B. Harrington Succulent Gallery. The popular Desert Wildflower Towers, which were placed in the entry agave spiral, were created especially for the Desert Botanical Garden exhibit, and Chihuly’s signature boats filled with glass were placed in desert washes.

The Garden’s exhibits inspire interest in people from all walks of life. From the newest members and tourists, to educators and students, there is something for each to enjoy and appreciate.

“ Thank you for your time and for taking us on a tour. But I got to say the glass artwork was the best. Keep making Chihuly!”

– Adriana, 5th grade

The Chihuly exhibit attracted new audiences to the Garden in record numbers. Once here, visitors were often overheard discussing the amazing plants and snapped photos of boojums, crested saguaros, and wildflowers. They also visited the Marshall Butterfly Pavilion to glimpse the magical creatures as they floated among the fragrant flowers.

Great Pumpkin Festival

Working closely with Copperwood Elementary School, Garden education staff is developing an on-site schoolyard habitat. Outreach at this school will continue offering workshops to promote teacher, student and community involvement in environmental education and curriculum-based, hands-on activities in the school’s habitat garden.

Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center, Free Arts for Abused Children, Foundation for Blind Children, and Crisis Nursery brought families to a special afternoon of our annual Great Pumpkin Festival. More than 350 kids and adults participated in crafts, petting zoo, hayrides and pumpkin decorating.

Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center (SARRC)

GardenWorks Program - Twenty young autistic adults have participated in a weekly volunteer program at Desert Botanical Garden. Their projects included preparation of school supplies for students visiting the Garden and assisting with behind-the-scenes support for Garden events.

Staff and volunteers from our Seedlings Preschool Program were trained by members at SARRC on teaching methods and innovative tools used when working with autistic preschoolers.

Booker T. Washington Headstart Program

Garden community outreach brought sciencebased programming to preschoolers.

A pilot program with Booker T. Washington School allowed staff to teach more than 90 children. Staff visited classrooms twice throughout the winter/spring semesters to educate students about seeds and insects. Staff and students also planted a school garden. As the garden flourished, they were able to harvest radishes, chard and carrots for the school’s cook to include in lunches.

One of the biggest challenges facing the Desert Botanical Garden is increasing the scope of its services and programs while maintaining the highest quality visitor experience. Taking leadership roles in assisting schools with science education, conducting scientific research for rare and threatened plant species, enhancing existing exhibits and building new exhibits helps the Garden accomplish this goal.

financial report

FISCAL 2 0 0 8 FINANCIAL HI G HLI G HTS October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008

The Garden’s audited financials, as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008, reflect both continued strong operating performance and a healthy balance sheet. Financial highlights include the following:

– Total support and revenue aggregated approximately $11.2 million in fiscal 2008, which was primarily attributable to continued growth in the Garden’s admissions revenue, increased memberships revenue, and more than $5.5 million of donor contributions.

– The Garden’s admissions revenues were $1.9 million in fiscal 2008, a 15% increase from 2007, which was primarily attributable to the April 2008 opening of the Sybil B. Harrington Cactus and Succulent Galleries and a strong spring wildflower season.

– Memberships revenue increased approximately 9% from 2007 to $1.4 million in 2008, demonstrating strong community support of the Garden and its programs.

– The comprehensive Tending the Garden Campaign, which began in 2006, was substantially completed in 2008, with 2008 contributions to the Garden totaling more than $5.5 million.

– Other key revenue sources also reflected the Garden’s strong financial performance. Our gross profit on retail and beverage sales totaled $1.4 million and facility rentals and concessions generated an additional $400,000. Special events and the Garden’s education classes also generated significant revenue.

– The Garden’s expenses increased $650,000, or 7%, from 2007 to 2008, primarily reflecting the growth in the programs offered to visitors and the community. Program costs represent over 50% of the Garden’s total expenses.

– The Garden’s financial condition also improved, with net assets increasing $1.7 million from 2007 to 2008.

–A t September 30, 2008, assets restricted for the Garden’s endowment totaled over $5.5 million.

Unlike industrial firms, not-for-profit organizations do not provide for the addition or replacement of major long-lived assets out of operations. Historically such entities look to capital contributions for those improvements. Hence, the financial performance for not-for-profits is best evaluated by analyzing operating results excluding the effects of depreciation.

Depreciation expense recognized in the Garden’s records for each fiscal period reported here was approximately $930,000.

General & Administrative

$11,179,318

The Statement of Activities above reports the results of Garden Operations excluding the effect of depreciation expense.

Depreciation refers to the systematic allocation of the cost of long-lived assets, including buildings, furniture and fixtures, and equipment, to the periods that benefit from their use. Recording depreciation has no effect on the liquidity or cash flow of the Garden. It reflects an estimate of the using up of the economic value of tangible assets. In the financial statements it reduces the Change in Net Assets (and, therefore, Total Net Assets) and the carrying basis of Property and Equipment.

the future

THANK YOU FROM THE CAMPAI G N CO - CHAIRS It is no secret that the Garden is different today than it was three years ago. From the dramatic sweeping arches of the Sybil B. Harrington Cactus and Succulent Galleries to the new audio tours offered to visitors: the Garden is a stunning attraction whose outstanding physical features are matched by its stellar programming in education, exhibits and scientific research.

Launched in 2006, the Tending the Garden Campaign to Endow the Future set out to transform the Desert Botanical Garden from a position of regional strength into a nationally and internationally distinguished institution equipped to serve generations to come.

The $16 million campaign goal was established to secure essential support for three program areas: exhibits, education and research, and also build the Garden’s endowment supporting renewal and revitalization throughout the Garden in perpetuity.

There were countless hours of planning and preparation that went into launching and completing Tending the Garden. A lot of time and energy was invested in completing the Campaign, but ultimately none of this would have been possible without the support of the Garden’s generous donors.

The Campaign was successful because of you. We can not thank you enough.

Thank you for believing in this institution and making this vision a reality!

2. Faye and Jim Kitchel

designated the remaining unrestricted Campaign support to be added to the endowment fund.

Once this transfer is made and planned gift pledges are realized, the endowment fund balance will exceed $10 million.

“The Garden is a very special place for our family. We are attracted by its balance of excitement and serenity.

We have been supporting the Desert Botanical Garden for three generations and look forward to bringing the fourth generation here time and time again.”

“Herb’s parents were a part of the group that started the Desert Botanical Garden, so we’ve seen the contrast from the very beginning to present day. We feel there is no better place to make a donation than to the Garden.”

Craig has been a member of the Garden for over twenty years. His contribution to the endowment ensures the Garden’s place as a prized Valley cultural destination for generations to come.

“I am honored to support such a world-class museum that gives peace, beauty and ‘Wow’ to so many visitors.”

“The Desert Botanical Garden has enriched my life intellectually, visually and emotionally. I am thankful to have been included in its history and now, with a planned gift, adding to its future.”

9. Betty Lou Summers

“The Desert Botanical Garden is a quiet oasis in a frantic paced world. It is a place where reflection and tranquil thoughts can restore us to a more positive and fulfilled life, as we enjoy the beauty and variety of its cacti and succulent plants.”
