Keep the Garden Growing

The Founders Memorial Garden is a living testament to the vision, achievements, and sacrifices of those who shaped our community. For years, this historic garden has been a place of learning, celebration, and connection. However, time takes its toll, and this ever-evolving landmark demands constant maintenance. This campus and community treasure relies solely on private funding for conservation and restoration efforts.

Project Goals

$15,000 by February 14 to fund upgrades.

  • Restoration of Garden Features: From repairing worn pavers and rebuilding the pergola to installing irrigation, every corner of the garden requires ongoing attention to maintain its beauty and vitality.
  • Enhancing Accessibility: We want the Founders Memorial Garden to be safe and accessible to everyone, including seniors and those with disabilities. Plans include improving ADA compliance.
  • Upgraded Landscaping & Plantings: The garden’s landscaping will be revitalized with new plantings, ensuring the space is lush and welcoming year-round.
