Description Program Srvc AccomCENTENNIAL PROJECTIN 2016, THE SEATTLE GARDEN BEGAN TO PLAN ITS 100TH YEAR BIRTHDAY WHICH WILL BE CELEBRATED IN 2017. THE CENTERPIECE OF THE CELEBRATION IS A CENTENNIAL GIFT OF $100,000 TO BE AWARDED TO A GARDEN OR HORTICULTURAL PROJECT TO COMMEMORATE OUR CENTENNIAL YEAR.THROUGHOUT THE 2015-2016 FISCAL YEAR WE DESIGNED AND IMPLEMENTED A PROCESS TO SELECT THE RECIPIENT OF THE GIFT. THE SOURCES OF THE FUNDS WERE VARIED, LARGELY THE RESULT OF INDIVIDUAL DONATIONS AND OF FUND RAISING EFFORTS BY THE CLUB. WE RESEARCHED DIFFERENT POTENTIAL GARDEN AND HORTICULTURAL PROJECTS AND VENUES THROUGHOUT THE SEATTLE AREA; ULTIMATELY, WE INVITED FOUR COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR THE SINGLE $100,000 GRANT. ALL FOUR ENTITIES WERE EVALUATED BY MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY PROJECTS AND CENTENNIAL COMMITTEES. SITE VISITS WERE MADE, AND FINANCIAL VIABILITY AND MAINTENANCE RESOURCES WERE EVALUATED. EACH OF THE FOUR ORGANIZATIONS PRESENTED WRITTEN MATERIALS, PLANS, SCHEMATICS AND THEN MADE THEIR CASE ION BEFORE THE ENTIRE CLUB AT A SPECIAL APRIL, 2016 MEETING. THEREAFTER, THE SEATTLE GARDEN CLUB VOTED TO GIVE OUR CENTENNIAL GIFT TO THE THREE PARTNERS WHO MANAGE THE WASHINGTON PARK ARBORETUM: THE ARBORETUM FOUNDATION, THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON BOTANICAL GARDENS AND THE SEATTLE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT. THIS GIFT WILL ESTABLISH A SUMMER GARDEN AT THE AZALEA WAY SOUTH POND LOCATED IN THE WASHINGTON PARK ARBORETUM. THIS GARDEN WILL BE COMPLETED IN THE FALL OF 2017.COMMUNITY SUPPORTTHE SEATTLE GARDEN CLUB MAKES MANY SMALL GRANTS EACH YEAR TO A WIDE VARIETY OF NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT PROMOTE CONSERVATION, EDUCATION, HORTICULTURE AND FLOWER ARRANGING SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE. A GRANT FROM THE SEATTLE GARDEN CLUB IS LIKE THE GOOD HOUSEKEEPING SEAL OF APPROVAL. OUR GIFTS ARE OFTEN SUCCESSFULLY LEVERAGED BY OUR DONEES TO RAISE NEW OR INCREASED FUNDING FROM A DIVERSE ARRAY OF DONORS, BOTH INDIVUAL AND CORPORATE. FRAGRANCE GARDENTHE SEATTLE GARDEN CLUB'S SIGNATURE, AND ONGOING PROJECT, IS A LARGE FRAGRANCE GARDEN, LOCATED AT THE CENTER FOR URBAN HORTICULTURE. THE GARDEN WAS THOROUGHLY RENOVATED AND REPLANTED IN 2013-2015. MAINTENANCE EXPENSES ARE BORNE BY SGC VOLUNTEERS, AND BY CUH STAFF. ANNUALLY, SGC DONATES $4500 TO CUH TO DEFRAY SOME OF ITS MAINTENANCE EXPENSES. OUR GIFTS TO THE CENTER FOR URBAN HORTICULTURE, HELPS CUH ATTRACT OTHER DONATIONS AND ALSO GIVES THE SEATTLE GARDEN CLUB A HOME.DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt
