THE YEAR IN REVIEW 3 FINANCIAL REPORT 4 BY THE NUMBERS 9 IN APPRECIATION 10
the year in review Dear Friends, We are pleased to report that 2009 was a banner year for the Garden, marking our 70th anniversary with much excitement and success. The highlight of the year was the Chihuly: The Nature of Glass exhibition, which delighted members and guests through its closing on May 31, 2009. It was hard to say “goodbye” to the Chihuly exhibition, but his Desert Towers sculpture remains on display providing fond memories for all of us. In addition to the Chihuly exhibition, there were many other accomplishments during the year: •
he Garden’s application for reaccreditation by the American Association of Museums T (AAM) was submitted in January. The application represented the culmination of two years’ worth of intense planning by board and staff members, and we expect to receive notification this summer that the application has been approved. If so, our Garden will have maintained continuous accredited status since 1983, a distinction few other gardens can claim.
•
The Garden’s Digital Curriculum initiative was launched in September 2009, providing a highly interactive and engaging environmental education program available to teachers and students throughout the state. Garden friends are invited to log on to www.dbg.org/ digitallearning to see for themselves the power of this new educational tool.
•
he Berlin Agave Yucca Forest opened in November 2009, accompanied by the unveiling T of the Allan Houser: Tradition to Abstraction exhibit. The new forest highlights the beauty and natural history of agave, yucca, and nolina plants, and the Houser exhibit—displayed in conjunction with the Heard Museum—celebrates the work of the distinguished American Indian artist.
As the report from Garden Treasurer Steve Tufts explains, 2009 was a financially successful year for the Garden. The excess revenue generated by the Chihuly exhibition has shielded the Garden from the harsh realities of the current economic slowdown, and careful stewardship by the Board has assured that the Garden’s key mission areas—education, conservation, research, and exhibition—continue to be fully funded. To the Garden’s dedicated volunteers, we express our gratitude to all of you, especially in light of the current economic climate, for your continued support of the Garden with your financial contributions and gifts of time. In 2009 alone, the Volunteers in the Garden logged more than 80,000 hours of service in support of the Garden’s mission. The Garden could not flourish without you, and we are indeed fortunate to have your personal commitment to our mission. To the Garden’s hardworking staff and Trustees, we thank you for your excellent work and your thoughtful stewardship of the Garden’s precious assets. And to the Garden’s members and generous donors, we thank you for joining us in our continuing celebration of desert plants. With best wishes,
Lee Baumann Cohn President, Board of Trustees

financial report Fiscal 2009 Financial Highlights October 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009
You do not normally find words like “beautiful,” “artistic,” and “awesome” in the narrative portion of the financial highlights. However, fiscal year 2009 was not a “normal” year for Desert Botanical Garden. The Garden’s Chihuly: The Nature of Glass exhibition by the artist Dale Chihuly was a huge success. I’m not quite sure whether the beauty of the Garden enhanced the beauty of the glass or vise-versa. Either way, the beautiful and artistic scultptures exhibited throughout the Garden drew record attendance and provided an awesome fiscal year. The Garden continues to maintain a healthy balance sheet and strong operating results. Below are some of the financial highlights for the year: •
Total revenue increased 45% from $11.2 million to $16.2 million.
•
Revenue from Admissions to the Garden increased 221% from $1.9 million to $6.2 million. This was attributable to a $5 increase in the price of admission as well as record attendance. Attendance was up 118% to a record 640,529 visitors.
• Revenue from Memberships grew from $1.4 million to $2.0 million for a 42% increase. Guests found great value in being a member of the Garden.
•
With the rise in attendance and additional Chihuly offerings in the Garden Gift Shop, g ross profit on Retail and Beverage Sales increased from $1.4 million to $2.0 million. This represented an increase of 43%.
•
ther contributors to the strong revenue growth included revenue from Facility O Rental and Concessions, and Special Events revenue. The combined additional revenue from these sources totaled more than $349,000.
Total expenses increased 37% from $8.5 million to $11.7 million. The majority of the increased expenses were attributable to the additional staff and supplies to support the Chihuly exhibition. The strong operating performance provided a positive change in net assets of $4.5 million (before depreciation). The Garden redeemed $4 million of outstanding bond debt throughout the year. As of September 30, 2009, outstanding bond debt totaled $4.3 million, with plans to further redeem these bonds in fiscal 2010. The Endowment that resulted from the Tending the Garden Campaign grew 21% from $5.5 million to $6.7 million. Fiscal 2009 was a great year for our members, guests, and the Garden.

Total Assets LIABILITIES AND NET ASSETS
Unlike industrial firms, not-for-profit organizations do not provide for the addition or replacement of major longlived assets out of operations. Historically such entities look to capital contributions for those improvements. Hence, the financial performance for not-for-profit 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 $1,201,000.

Total Current Liabilities 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, 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.

I regard the Garden as my second home. Absolutely the most rewarding development in my life since I retired has been my relationship with the Garden’s leadership, staff and volunteers. May it continute for a while longer.

It appears to us that the foresight that established the Desert Botanical Garden so many years ago is being carried on today. As we watch the Valley develop, we see an ever more crucial role for the Garden as both a regional resource of science and conservation and a sanctuary of wellness for the people of the area. We treasure the Garden’s gift of tranquility, peace and beauty and it is an honor to be able to work with the committee tasked with raising the money to acquire the Chihuly Towers. Anonymous Donors

In Memorium Jonathan Marshall was an extremely generous man. He and Maxine loved the Garden, and Maxine was particularly interested in a butterfly exhibit. Jonathan wanted their contribution to the Marshall Butterfly Pavilion to be in Maxine’s name. It is a living testament to a great man and the generousity of a wonderful couple.

Volunteering at the Garden has opened up a whole world of friendships, activities, and education for us. Barb even brings our three-year-old grandson, Ethan, to Sammy Seedlings so he can learn about nature at the Garden.

I will always remember the evening my husband proposed to me in the Desert Botanical Garden. He had worked with the on-site staff, who helped make sure we had our own private, special moment...the sun was setting, the gardens were stunning, we felt like we were the only two people in Phoenix that night -- the evening was pure magic!

For me, DBG is a treasure for our community; it showcases the breathtaking beauty of the Southwest in the middle of our busy metropolitan area. I love walking through the gates. As a trustee, I am honored to be included in a talented and energetic group of supporters who have made prudent decisions to protect and enhance the Garden over decades. This includes building the high caliber professional leadership at the Garden. I am excited for the Garden’s future, as it grows with our young community.
