Grow with Reynolda Gardens by Jon Roethling In the summer of 2020, the team at the Gardens set out to ask the local community to support restoration projects to propel the Gardens forward. In the last year, the Gardens has completed several important projects, including replanting historic cherry trees, restoring the teahouses in the formal garden, and refreshing the herb garden. Earlier this year, Eva and Gordon Bingham made a generous donation to support a new plant database. They noted the following when making their gift: “Reynolda Gardens has been, and always will be, a place of enjoyment for both of us. Eva has especially fond memories of attending educational programs and other events in the greenhouse presented by Dave Bare, Preston Stockton and the rest of the staff. So we welcome the chance to support a project to create a database of all current plants on the property. Reynolda Gardens is a unique resource in our region and we hope others will join us in supporting it.”
