The Garden has several distinctive sections that highlight the breadth of species across Californias diverse landscape. The newest garden displays offer updated inspiration for conserving water and using natives in home gardens; introduce deciduous natives in a shaded, canyon setting; showcase plants of the Channel Islands with a breadth-taking view of the islands themselves; engage children with a maze made of native Coyote Bush; and introduce visitors to Californias rarest and most threated species. The Horticulture team also manages two native plant nurseries, one open to the public for plant purchases and the other for propagation. 984594 301241 The Conservation and Research Program tackles todays complex conservation challenges at all levels: from genes, to individuals, populations, communities, and ecosystems. Garden scientists work collaboratively to identify and implement strategies for protecting and restoring Californias diverse botanic ecosystems. The Conservation and Research team works to safeguard endangered plant species, produce essential regional plant inventories and research, and secure collections of seeds as well as living plants for study and potential recovery in the event of disaster. They examine the beneficial role native plants play in supporting pollination and pest control for healthier and more productive food crops and wildlands. The team also manages a seed bank and a herbarium. By using cryogenics, they maintain a comprehensive collection of genetic material from Californias most imperiled plants. 489034 67543 The Educational Program supports the Gardens conservation mission by inspiring active stewardship of native plants & the environments that depend on them. We work to develop an environmentally literate & engaged public through on-site classes, lectures, travel, & docent-led public & school tours. The Garden itself serves as a large & inspiring classroom with diverse collections of native plants that attract a great variety of wildlife. Garden school tours increase the eco-literacy of children in ways that are interactive and relevant to their daily lives and interests. These popular tours are designed to align with the California Common Core State Standards, California Environmental Education Initiative & Next Generation Science Standards. The Gardens Citizen Science Club & California Naturalists training program offer specialized education for volunteers, nature enthusiasts & professionals. 315362 2868659 true true false false false false false true false true true false false true false true true false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 62 0 true 56 true true true false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 16 17 false false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X X GAYLE KOPITZKE 8056824726 1212 MISSION CANYON SANTA BARBARA CA 93105 X Mr Peter Schuyler Chairman 3.75 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mr Tom Craveiro VICE CHAIRMAN 2.75 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mr Edward Roach Treasurer 2.75 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Ms Sue Adams Secretary 2.75 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mr John A Brinker Trustee 2.75 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Patrick Connelly Trustee 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ms Samantha Davis Trustee 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Marc Fisher Trustee 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ms Lou Greer Frost Trustee 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mr John Gabbert Trustee 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ms Elaine M Gibson Trustee 2.75 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ms Valerie Hoffman Trustee 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mr John Parke Trustee 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Jesse Smith Trustee 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ms Susan Spector Trustee 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ms Susan Van Atta Trustee 1.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Windhager Steven Executive Director 40.00 0.00 X 163100 0 12496 Linder Stephanie DIR OF DEVO & COMM 40.00 0.00 X 115855 0 11097 278955 23593 2 false true false 0 291804 21874 2320660 195506 2634338 ADMISSIONS 532362 532362 CONTRACTS 301241 301241 EDUCATION PROGRAMS 67543 67543 901146 272550 272550 0 0 128458 87748 40710 40710 61668 -20958 1764661 5000000 1555084 4292022 209577 707978 917555 917555 84321 21874 81644 2677 2677 0 405724 205762 199962 -3981 203943 OTHER 403 403 403 4969341 1880772 -24939 479170 0 0 0 0 175596 43899 87798 43899 0 1527610 1077093 201067 249450 61022 39773 13116 8133 274368 174612 73146 26610 154927 105814 25853 23260 0 0 16139 16139 0 0 56070 56070 309439 286527 6714 16198 33784 22500 5704 5580 216723 191090 10458 15175 0 0 108946 105661 3285 26339 20689 4751 899 0 18295 9539 5121 3635 27754 27754 0 608149 536281 42636 29232 169811 150303 10689 8819 CLASSES TOURS AND EVENTS 48866 48783 83 Printing and Publications 41299 27440 7029 6830 LABORATORY 28200 28200 Postage and Shipping 4370 455 827 3088 0 3907707 2868659 598240 440808 4911 4550 525979 131574 574686 330377 4017 55435 0 0 0 74295 82548 72893 106086 26799189 3714824 27607285 23084365 7328590 13843687 10854 10854 0 0 3522873 4037713 39726383 41687189 760926 663078 83644 62265 3389815 3372099 4234385 4097442 X 29382872 30018868 2692399 2803853 3416727 4767026 35491998 37589747 39726383 41687189 X 1061634 1036115 X false true X true false X 2770032 3945939 1902162 1698856 2634338 12951327 0 0 2770032 3945939 1902162 1698856 2634338 12951327 1080727 11870600 154775 131061 100560 343971 222550 952917 39783 29885 -12448 -15149 -24939 17132 2588 112 109 3456 403 6668 13928044 4347291 0.85230 0.89780 X false 6437854 1314798 1166101 651317 8267436 6342614 5828 335184 245772 6437854 5884859 726500 -22473 246272 6342614 5888149 287429 290719 5884859 10135948 20 799134 5046953 -26812 0.44660 0.42660 0.12680 false false false 6403458 6403458 19496183 2871958 16624225 899548 842866 56682 23084365 CASH HELD ST FOR LONG-TERM USE 781390 CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUSTS 281379 COLLECTIONS 118275 INTEREST IN PERPETUAL TRUSTS 1239936 WORK IN PROCESS 1616733 4037713 X 6037134 957199 78916 1036115 5001019 56070 -87748 -31678 4969341 3939385 87748 87748 3851637 56070 56070 3907707 Part III, Line 1a: If organization elected under SFAS 116 to not report are, historical treasures, o Inexhaustible Collections The Garden has elected not to capitalize donated botanical collections nor does the Garden recognize these contributions as revenues or gains.
