David Salman Garden Funding Update

We’re pleased that we’re making progress but we need additional support to break ground next Spring. Not only does the garden show our appreciation for David’s contribution to horticulture but with a Lauren Springer-designed garden, will also be an amazing addition and draw to our beloved Santa Fe Botanical Garden.

The plants are mostly donated from High Country Gardens and the design work will be pro bono but the garden will not become a reality in 2024 until we reach our dollar goal. Please donate now and all donations of any size are appreciated with gratitude.

The Kickoff Event on October 15th was well attended and the weather was spectacular. Thank you everyone who attended. We had special presentations from the Santa Fe Botanical Garden director, David Young, operations director Cristina Salvador and a big Thank You to our special presenter and tribute garden designer Lauren Springer.
