The Garden Conservancy

The Garden Conservancy's mission is to preserve, share, and celebrate America's gardens and diverse gardening traditions for the education and inspiration of the public. It champions the vital role gardens play in American history, culture, and quality of life. The Conservancy partners with gardeners, community organizations, horticulturists and garden professionals, designers, and historians across America to preserve outstanding gardens. The organization works with both emerging public gardens as well as with longstanding icons, including many National Historic Landmarks and sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Since 1995, the Conservancy's signature Open Days program has allowed more than a million visitors to experience the bounteous peace and beauty of some 3,000 private gardens across the country. The organization's garden-study tours and public education programs offer further opportunities for people to explore and be inspired by unusual and exciting design ideas, horticultural skills, cultural insights, and environmental issues. www.gardenconservancy.org
