| Desc | SEE SCH O-MAINTENANCE, HORTICULTURE, AND RANGERSTHE NON-PROFIT CONSERVANCY IS THE DESIGNATED STEWARD OF THE ROSE KENNEDY GREENWAY, A CONTEMPORARY PARK IN THE HEART OF BOSTON. THE CONSERVANCY MAINTAINS, PROGRAMS, FINANCES, AND IMPROVES THE 1.5-MILE GREENWAY ON BEHALF OF THE PUBLIC.THE CONSERVANCY CONTINUED TO MAKE GREENWAY IMPROVEMENTS AND BRING PUBLIC SPACE INNOVATIONS TO BOSTON:1.THE CONSERVANCY CONTINUED ITS LEADING ROLE IN PRESENTING ROTATING EXHIBITIONS OF CONTEMPORARY PUBLIC ART. FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE PUBLIC ART HAS A UNIFYING THEME, "PLAYFUL PERSPECTIVES," WITH NEW COMMISSIONS FROM MARK REIGELMAN, MEREDITH JAMES, AND AAKASH NIHALANI; INSTALLATIONS FROM THE DESIGN BIENNIAL BOSTON; ALONGSIDE THE MEHDI GHADYANLOO'S SPECTACULAR MURAL. THE CONSERVANCY AGAIN RECEIVED RECOGNITION FROM AMERICANS FOR THE ARTS' PUBLIC ART NETWORK FOR COMMISSIONING ONE OF THE COUNTRY'S BEST PIECES OF PUBLIC ART, THE FOURTH GREENWAY WIN IN FIVE YEARS. 2.CROWDS LINED UP FOR THE TRILLIUM GARDEN ON THE GREENWAY, BOSTON'S FIRST FULLY OPEN-AIR BEER GARDEN, WHICH WAS FEATURED IN BON APPETIT. WE ALSO PARTNERED TO BRING A 220' ZIPLINE TO DOWNTOWN BOSTON FOR THE 2017 SEASON. 3.FREE PROGRAMS HIT ANOTHER RECORD, SURPASSING 450 IN 2017. THE CAROUSEL, WI-FI, AND FOOD TRUCKS CONTINUED TO BE POPULAR. ATTENDANCE REACHED 1.4 MILLION TRACKABLE VISITORS, MAKING THE GREENWAY ONE OF THE MOST VISITED DESTINATIONS IN THE COMMONWEALTH.4.WE KEPT THE GREENWAY IN GREAT CONDITION, INCLUDING UPGRADING LIGHT FIXTURES TO LED, MAKING REPAIRS FROM A BROKEN WATER MAIN, AND RESTORING THE FOG FEATURE AT THE RINGS FOUNTAIN. GARDEN UPGRADES WERE MADE THROUGHOUT THE PARKS.HORTICULTURETHE CONSERVANCY CONTINUE TO IMPROVE THE GREENWAY'S BEAUTY THROUGH SKILLED, ATTENTIVE LANDSCAPE CARE AND THOUGHTFUL IMPROVEMENTS. THE CONSERVANCY USES ORGANIC AND SUSTAINABLE LANDSCAPE PRACTICES THAT ARE INNOVATIVE, AWARD-WINNING, AND FISCALLY SOUND. THE GREENWAY IS ONE OF A HANDFUL OF ORGANICALLY-MAINTAINED PUBLIC PARKS IN THE UNITED STATES. GREENWAY PLANTS ARE HEALTHIER, MORE RESILIENT, AND BETTER ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE STRESS OF PUBLIC USE AND THE DEMANDS OF AN URBAN ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE OF OUR MANAGEMENT PRACTICES. THE CONSERVANCY'S POLICY OF NOT USING HERBICIDES AND TOXINS ALSO ENSURES THAT RUN-OFF FROM THE PARKS WILL NOT POLLUTE BOSTON HARBOR OR HARM THE DELICATE MARINE LIFE. CHILDREN AND PETS CAN FREELY AND SAFELY PLAY ON OUR PARK LAWNS WITHOUT THE WORRY OF PESTICIDES. A HARVARD KENNEDY SCHOOL TEAM PARTNERED WITH US AND DETERMINED THAT OUR DAILY ORGANIC CARE IS LESS EXPENSIVE THAN A NON-ORGANIC APPROACH. THE CORNERSTONE OF OUR ORGANIC APPROACH IS COMPOST TEA. SUCCESS WITH NATURAL SOIL BIOLOGY HAVE IMPROVED PLANT HEALTH AND ROOT DEPTH, ALLOWING FOR DECREASED APPLICATIONS OF COMPOST TEA AND ORGANIC FERTILIZER OVER TIME. OUR SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS HAVE EARNED US A MAYOR'S GREENOVATE AWARD, AND THE PARK IS A NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION CERTIFIED WILDLIFE HABITAT. A WALK DOWN THE GREENWAY REVEALS LUSH, GREEN GRASS AND THRIVING GARDEN BEDS. OUR SUSTAINABLE HORTICULTURE PRACTICES INCLUDE WEED MANAGEMENT, OVERSEEDING AND AERATION, ORGANIC DEBRIS COMPOSTING, ORGANIC FERTILIZER APPLICATIONS AND EFFICIENT WATER USAGE. IN ADDITION, DEWEY SQUARE PARK FEATURES POLLINATOR, EDIBLE, DEMONSTRATION, AND RAIN GARDENS. 83 PLANTER CONTAINERS THROUGHOUT THE PARK ARE CHANGED OUT SEASONALLY WITH ARRANGEMENTS CONSISTENT WITH THEIR PARK SURROUNDINGS. WE CONTINUE OUR CONTRACTED CARE FOR THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF BOSTON (SPECIALTY ORGANIC SERVICES) AND THE ARMENIAN HERITAGE PARK (COMPLETE PARK CARE).IN 2017, HORTICULTURE RENOVATED NUMEROUS GARDEN AREAS THROUGHOUT THE GREENWAY INCLUDING CHINATOWN PARK, WHERE WE COMPLETELY TRANSFORMED A PORTION OF THE PARK INTO A VIEWING GARDEN WITH INCREASED PLANT DIVERSITY AND IMPROVED FOUR-SEASON INTEREST. WE COMPLETED IMPROVEMENTS TO THE BEDS NEAR THE HIGHWAY TUNNEL PORTALS IN THE NORTH END PARKS BY ADDING PERENNIALS AND BULBS AND WE CONTINUED EXPANSION OF OUR GREENWAY-WIDE POLLINATOR RIBBON GARDEN THEME IN THE FINANCIAL DISTRICT WITH AN IN-HOUSE DESIGN AND INSTALLATION OF A NEW LANDSCAPE NEAR 125 SUMMER ST. FOR THE CENTRAL GARDENS BETWEEN OLIVER AND HIGH STREETS, WE BEGAN A CONCEPTUAL DESIGN PROCESS WITH WORLD-RENOWNED GARDEN DESIGNER, JULIE MOIR MESSERVY, FOR A DESTINATION GARDEN. WE BEGAN THE RENOVATION PROCESS WITH LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS THAT INCLUDED TREE TRANSPLANTING AS WELL AS THE REDESIGN AND INSTALLATION OF A SMALL AREA FEATURING INTERESTING VARIETIES OF JAPANESE MAPLE. HORTICULTURE ALSO CREATED A LIVING GREENWALL ON THE EXTERIOR OF ARTIST MEREDITH JAMES' AMES ROOM ART INSTALLATION. DESIGNED BY OUR OWN STAFF USING AN EXCITING VARIETY OF SUCCULENTS, CLIMBING VINES AND OTHER INTERESTING PLANT MATERIAL THE PROJECT WAS INSTALLED WITH THE HELP OF VOLUNTEERS AND AT THE END OF THE INSTALLATION'S DURATION, PLANTS WERE REPURPOSED TO NEW LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE GREENWAY.OUR VOLUNTEER PROGRAM OFFERS OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS AND COMPANIES FOR HANDS-ON LEARNING WHILE THEY ASSIST WITH PARK STEWARDSHIP. SHOULDER-TO-SHOULDER WITH OUR HORTICULTURAL STAFF, THE COMMUNITY LEARNS ABOUT OUR ORGANIC CARE IN THIS ROOF-TOP GARDEN. IN 2017 HORTICULTURE WELCOMED 580 VOLUNTEERS WHO CONTRIBUTED 2,601 HOURS FOR HORTICULTURE AND MORE. ON THE STRENGTH OF REVIEWS FROM VOLUNTEERS, THE CONSERVANCY HAS WON THE TOP RATED AWARD FROM GREATNONPROFITS.ORG 6 YEARS RUNNING.MAINTENANCEOUR MAINTENANCE TEAM CARES FOR SEVEN WATER FEATURES, ACRES OF GRANITE PAVING, COMPLEX LIGHTING SYSTEMS, AND MORE.

THESE WORKS MANIPULATED VISUAL PERCEPTION THROUGH THE USE OF SCALED OBJECTS AND OPTICAL ILLUSIONS, BLURRING THE BOUNDARIES BETWEEN ART AND EVERYDAY LIFE, AND BETWEEN EXPECTATION AND REALITY. MARK REIGLEMAN'S MEETING HOUSE, A NEW ENGLAND QUAKER-STYLED WOODEN HOME THAT LOOKED TO BE SINGING AND OR RISING FROM THE GROUND, AND MEREDITH JAMES' FAR FROM THIS SETTING IN WHICH I NOW FIND MYSELF; A THREE WALLED TRAPEZOIDAL ROOM BUILT WITH FORCED PERSPECTIVE; CREATING AN EFFECT WHERE A PERSON APPEARS TO GROW OR SHRINK WHILE MOVING THROUGHOUT THE ROOM.
