With Portland Parks we helped select a design team to begin the second phase of design work for new botanical and horticultural offerings in the Upper Garden. Garden staff worked with landscape design professionals to identify plans for replanting of existing botanical collection areas. Propagation of plants in higher volume for our annual plant sale as well as for use in planting anticipated in the future began. The first horticultural intern was selected to work in the garden during the summer. Partnerships continued with staff from OSU, the Berry Seed Bank, and the National College of Natural Medicine. New connections were explored with Siskiyou Field Institute which shares some of the same flora and fauna that are part of the Leach heritage. We saw an increase in visitors to the Garden to an estimated 22,000. 78723 10766 Education The work with the design team in the Upper Garden plan also included goals for educational elements. The design included the provision of indoor and outdoor spaces where educational programs can take place, the provision of interpretive signage to educate visitors about the botanical experiences presented, and the inclusion of a wide variety of botanical collection beds and settings which make that educational element robust. The education staff continued with summer day camps not only those run by the Garden but arranging for partner organizations such as Portland Audubon and Outdoor School to provide programs. A partnership with Alice Ott Middle Schools sun program engaged nearly 20 youngsters in a year-long learning program at our Childrens Garden. A variety of other classes from drawing to plant propagation were presented. A free lecture series brought approximately 150 adults to the garden to hear about soil, water and design, and Darlingtonia californica. We also sponsored two lectures off-site covering issues of garden design and the significance of public gardens. The second of the two at Portland Art Museum drew a standing room only audience of over 400 people. 218032 true true false false false false false false false true true true false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 7 0 true 13 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 10 10 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true false true false false false OR X DAVID PORTER 5038231673 6704 SE 122ND PORTLAND OR 97236 NANA BELLERUD Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JIM BERRY Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TOM BLAND TREAS/DIRECTOR 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 IRENE BOWERS Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARY DAVIS DIRECTOR 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GAY GREGER PRES/TREAS/DIR 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 LARRY GRIFFITH TREAS/DIRECTOR 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MIKE MCKEEL VP/DIRECTOR 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 AMY MILLER-DOWELL SEC/DIRECTOR 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 LINDA MORROW PRES/DIRECTOR 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JUAN CARLOS OCHOA-CHU Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SUE O'HALLORAN Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID PORTER Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 55159 0 3183 55159 3183 0 false false false 0 12590 850 104400 168939 1759 286779 EDUCATION CLASSES/EVENTS 611600 10911 10911 PLANT SALES 453000 8624 8624 RELATED RENTAL INCOME 531120 4800 4800 24335 174 174 0 0 108640 61552 47088 47088 47088 0 8292 850 4390 3902 3902 251 251 251 22805 11869 10936 10936 WEDDING SUPPORT SERVICES 812900 2059 2059 2059 375524 24335 64410 50000 50000 0 0 0 48178 22505 11352 14321 0 153460 91613 11560 50287 0 2639 1329 1310 19684 11169 2266 6249 0 0 12421 471 11694 256 0 8125 8125 0 3932 2871 912 149 5488 3479 80 1929 8433 4786 1003 2644 1761 1253 122 386 0 4841 2862 519 1460 1285 618 301 366 0 0 0 0 1421 1363 58 4700 2158 1348 1194 Printing and Publications 9216 3037 496 5683 LICENSES AND PERMITS 7178 6782 157 239 SUPPLIES 6912 6114 271 527 HONORARIA 5622 5622 0 355296 218032 43449 93815 25673 50809 182115 252227 0 24000 33435 0 0 0 8645 9768 81 31807 26841 6064 4966 0 101370 97520 0 0 38463 40929 386330 489735 30220 41952 12700 20645 79616 50865 134268 X 247356 216709 59707 109856 28402 28902 335465 355467 386330 489735 X 20228 -226 X false false false X 161339 170315 119021 166159 286779 903613 0 14820 14820 14820 14820 28000 87280 176159 185135 133841 180979 314779 990893 0 990893 56455 88198 109932 119747 108814 483146 0 0 1474039 336501 0.67220 0.63710 X Support Schedule: Additional Supplemental Information PART II, SECTION A, LINE 3:A) THE CITY OF PORTLAND OWNS A BUILDING THAT LEACH GARDEN FRIENDS USES AS AN OFFICE.
