The sculptures and artwork add to the experience of visitors and encourages visits to the Garden. The Garden also holds a book collection relating to botanical matters. It is valuable as a research resource and is maintained for future generations. Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 The endowment funds are used to support operating expenses. Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 The Garden is a not-for-profit trust, exempt from Federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and none of its present or anticipated future activities are subject to taxation as unrelated business income. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements.

There have been no interest or penalties neither recognized in the statements of activities nor in the statements of financial position related to uncertain tax positions. In addition, no tax positions exist for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months. The Garden evaluates its uncertain tax positions, if any, on a continual basis through review of its policies and procedures, review of its regular tax filings, and discussions with outside experts.
