Earth Day

the Chase Garden Flower Path in Washington State

I've just discovered what I consider to be one of the most worth-while

horticultural & landscape architecture programs in the USA,

The Garden Conservancy

Since its founding, the Garden Conservancy, which is a non-profit

organization, has done more than any other national institution

to save and preserve America’s exceptional gardens

for the education and enjoyment of the public.

Since 1989, the Garden Conservancy has helped more than 90

important gardens in the United States survive and prosper.

Currently, there are 16 major preservation projects

all across the United States under its care.

The Garden Conservancy was established in 1989 by Frank Cabot,

the distinguished American gardener.

In partnership with individual garden owners as well as public and private

organizations,  the Conservancy provides the horticultural, technical,

management, and financial expertise  needed to sustain these fragile

environments and ensure long-term  stewardship of natural assets

so essential to the aesthetic and cultural life of our communities.

For anyone who has ever toured beautiful gardens, wanted a lovely garden,

or just enjoys growing flowers in a big pot,

 this is a site you will want to visit.

www.gardenconservancy.org

When you go to the website you will find a list of gardens all across the U.S.

which will be open to the public under their sponsorship from

April - October 2010.

Maybe one is near you and this could be an incredible opportunity to view

these amazing properties.

If you think this information is worthwhile, please forward it on to your friends,

or link back to me in your post

as all of us must strive to protect

Mother Earth
