2016–2017 Annual Report
Letter from Board President and Executive Director Dear Friends, Thanks to your vision, passion and generosity, Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden made significant strides over the last year—on our own 82-acre campus, at the Lewis Ginter Nature Reserve and throughout the Greater Richmond region. The Garden’s board, staff and community leaders worked together to finalize our Master Site Plan and five-year Strategic Plan, “Unearthing Our Potential.” We welcomed over 460,000 guests from ever more diverse audiences. In 2016, we received Charity Navigator’s top 4-star rating recognizing the Garden’s sound fiscal management and a commitment to accountability and transparency. We were also named the fourth-best botanical garden in the nation by USA Today. Through your support we provided experiential education opportunities to over 14,000 children in formal programs, and for tens of thousands more through informal offerings. We trained and deployed the first cohort of Ginter Urban Gardeners who will work to beautify neighborhoods throughout Richmond, strengthening the voice and vision of our Beautiful RVA initiatives. We dedicated the Bob Stapleton & Keith Tignor Apiary, and hosted a wildly popular Nature Connects: Art with LEGO® Bricks exhibition. We began the accreditation process for the azaleas at the Lewis Ginter Nature Reserve, a plant collection that may well prove to be the largest of its kind in North America. Further, we digitally mapped our own plant collection so that guests may explore specimens in depth either on-site or online. These superlatives for your Garden are both affirming and humbling. Each one also encompasses individual moments of awakening and wonder. A volunteer who commits four days a week to serving the Garden returns on the fifth day as a member, explaining, “This is my happy place.” A child’s eyes grow wide as she learns how the food she eats is grown in the earth, gathered in hives or plucked from trees. On a calm spring morning, yoga students practice outdoors, restored and renewed by the earth beneath them. Thank you for all you do to make great things happen here, both large and small.
