Dear Tower Hill Family, We are living through an unprecedented moment in time, but what gives me hope is our equally unprecedented commitment to responding to the needs of our community. I hold out hope, that no matter what, our shared humanity is at the core of who we all are. When asked what, the big idea behind Tower Hill is, I’ve always said that at its core, Tower Hill is not just a cultural institution, it is an inspiration community. Fueling that inspiration is a passionate community who is pushing the frontier, innovating the future in front of our eyes. This year the Trustees approved a new strategic plan, which will set the course of continuity, stewardship and growth for years to come. We are engaged, energized and thinking about this 180-year-old society with exciting and practical initiatives. We remain committed to be fiscally stable and diverse, governed by a dedicated board and run by devoted and professional staff. As we grow throughout the community, the community has grown within the Garden. Over 1000 people have opened their hearts to help Tower Hill, all coming together to meet tragedy with generosity. The steadfastness of our members and friends has been key to the Garden's resilience this year. To have reached this level of support in such a difficult year speaks both to the power of Tower Hill‘s mission and aspiration and to the tremendous generosity of those who have provided support. As Tower Hill rises, we are dreaming of possibilities. We have been honored to serve. Grace C. Elton Chief Executive Officer

Joy of Volunteering
at Tower Hill Botanic Garden by Rick Leif, Secretary, Board of Trustees
MY WIFE, JEAN, AND I HAVE BEEN MEMBERS OF TOWER HILL BOTANIC GARDEN SINCE THE EARLY 1990 s . We have found the Garden to be a place of unending joy since we originally walked the property many years ago and have been so pleased to be able to be part of the amazing growth that we have witnessed as members, volunteers, and donors. When we decided to become more involved at Tower Hill as volunteers, we concentrated our efforts in the gardens, working with the horticulture staff and many other volunteers to help keep everything in the wonderfully maintained condition that we so appreciated on our visits. We derive great satisfaction from being a part of this effort and feel a sense of pride when we hear other visitors to the Garden remark about the beauty of Tower Hill. It was not long before our volunteer efforts expanded to assisting in classes, leading field trips for second graders, setting up flower shows, and stringing miles of lights through the gardens in advance of the annual Night Lights exhibition. Most meaningful for me has been the time I have spent as a docent, leading visitors through the gardens on tours and sharing my knowledge of and passion for Tower Hill with them and helping to increase their appreciation for all of the wonders that Tower Hill possesses. I have also been very appreciative of the opportunity to serve on the Board of Trustees. During my time as a Trustee, I have been able to experience first-hand the incredible dedication the staff displays to continue to position Tower Hill as a great asset to the Worcester community and, in an ever-increasing manner, as a great asset to New England and the rest of our country. As long as we are able, Jean and I will continue to pull weeds, string lights, lead tours, and do whatever we can to support this wonderful place.
“I take a great deal of satisfaction in being able to play a part in helping to bring the benefits that Tower Hill provides to an expanding audience.”

IN MARCH OF LAST YEAR, TOWER HILL STAFF WERE CONFIDENT THAT 2020 WOULD BE A YEAR OF FINANCIAL STABILITY. We were coming off a year which broke records for visitation. We had plans for garden innovations and exhibitions and programs that would deliver our mission to even more visitors. We budgeted for new staff to support growing operations. We anticipated significant revenue from summer weddings and our winter lights event. And then came the pandemic, and it moved quickly. The Garden closed on March 16. Some staff were laid off when their job functions were no longer possible in a pandemic. Other employees were ordered to work from home if they could. In the space of a day, we packed up and left the property. The most immediate concern was short-term financial stability. How could Tower Hill survive to see 2021? 2
And how could we plan for that when we had no idea how long the pandemic would last? We certainly had no inkling that we would be swept up in a changing cycle of federal and state controls that would affect every part of our operations. The federal Paycheck Protection Program offered hope. In early April, we applied for a loan. We received approval two days later. Now we could exhale while we focused on a longer-term response plan. We reopened slowly in June. We prepared a new budget for the fiscal year, omitting what the pandemic would make impossible. For example, we could no longer plan on revenue from weddings or from programs that would bring visitors into close contact or large groups. We made a decision in May to cancel our well-known Night Lights which was projected to bring in more than $500,000. Night Lights takes six months of advance planning. We could not wait any longer to see if pandemic controls would

allow us to hold the event in December. We made the difficult decision to cancel. And then we all turned, collaboratively, to explore what we could do. We developed a lower-key lights event in the fall, Autumn Illuminated. Our education department offered outdoor exhibitions and small group programming. My financial and operational responsibility was to assess the new plans, the associated costs, and to the extent possible, project the health and safety guidelines under which Tower Hill could continue to operate. It was a very uncertain time. The Board of Trustees demonstrated faith in our ability to succeed. In the end, we had a new budget and new game plan. How did FY21 unfold? It was a year of pivots and plans and success. The number of visitors exceeded our expectations, thanks in large part to the safety protocols put in place by our staff Reopening Task Force and embraced by the public. Our visitors came, solo and with friends and family. They shopped
in our Garden Shop (setting new sales records), embraced Autumn Illuminated, applauded our online offerings, visited our exhibitions and gardens, and most important to our long-term success, continued to support us as members and donors. It was exhilarating and affirming.
“Our pandemic experience has taught us to plan with optimism, meet the unexpected head-on, and use our resilience to pivot, shift, and innovate. We are already looking ahead to the opportunities that come from a new garden and expanded parking lots. On to 2022!” 3

THE TOWER HILL EDUCATION TEAM IS A CREATIVE AND DETERMINED BUNCH, WHO DO NOT SHY AWAY FROM A CHALLENGE. So, when the Garden shut down last March, we did just that, we created. We created online content and lessons, at home activity guides for families, and classes and content for adults. We also planned for our eventual reopening. By April we had a variety of proposals for an assortment of reopening scenarios, guided by four goals 1) deliver our mission, 2) keep people safe, 3) enhance the visitor experience, and 4) bring people joy when they need it most!
came to a halt so instead we focused on the needs of the many families working and learning from home, my family included. We offered more in-person and outdoor workshops for families than ever before and created engaging online content for families and schools with a focus on getting kids outside. We expanded our adult programming into the virtual world which allowed us to engage with people from the comfort and safety of their own homes. The move to an online format allowed us to bring speakers to Tower Hill that would not have been within our reach before.
You may not know that the education team plans its exhibits and programming up to a year in advance. So, in April, when I asked the team to wipe the slate clean, and start over, it was not an easy ask, but without hesitation they rose to the occasion and the result was truly awesome. Instead of major weekend events, and a summer exhibition that was stymied when our artist got trapped in Canada, we offered experiences like a fairy house hunt and hands-free scavenger hunt and then Mythical Creatures, Yeti, Set, Go!, and Yarnstorm. Visitation from schools
As we dream into 2021, with our four “pandemic pivot goals” and the guidance of our new strategic plan in mind, we are excited to engage and teach more people than ever. I am particularly excited for the new Ramble family garden and the Climate Victory Garden which will move us forward as we support more youth and families in lifelong learning and climate change education. In spite of the curves thrown our way in the last year, we are more committed than ever because we know our mission, and we know that those who can, TEACH!

A Year of HORTICULTURE
RESILIENCY
by Mark Richardson, Director of Horticulture
IN 2020, WE LEARNED EXACTLY HOW RESILIENT WE CAN BE WHEN FACED WITH CONSTANT UNCERTAINTY, AN ENDLESS STREAM O F D E VA STATIN G N E WS , A N D COLLECTIVE BOREDOM. Many of us also learned exactly how much we value our connection with plants and how important time in the garden is for our mental health. Because of the initial shutdown during the early days and weeks of the pandemic, the garden was eerily silent last spring, with only a handful of staff on site. For eleven weeks, including the peak of our spring displays, the horticulture staff missed the sights and sounds of people enjoying our hard work, but boy did we get some work done! While staff in many industries learned to work remotely, our horticulture staff learned to work safely in the garden, taking care to protect each other by wearing masks, physical distancing, sanitizing tools, and continuing the important work of maintaining our collections. A year later, the garden is anything but silent. Despite continuing physical distancing, mask fatigue, and timed ticketing, the gardens have been buzzing with people, eager to return to the garden they love or to enjoy a new experience they didn’t realize they needed before the whole world changed.
