THE GARDEN CONSERVANCY<br />

Pearl Fryar's Topiary Garden in Bishopville, SC is one of sixteen preservation<br />

projects of the Garden Conservancy, www.fryarstopiaries.com<br />

THE GARDEN CONSERVANCY www.<strong>garden</strong>conservancy.org<br />

Jpen Uays is a program of the Oarden Conservancy,<br />

established in 1989 by the distinguished American<br />

<strong>garden</strong>er, Frank Cabot. In the twenty years since<br />

its founding, the organization has done more than<br />

any other national institution to save and preserve<br />

America's exceptional <strong>garden</strong>s for the education and<br />

enjoyment of the public.<br />

In partnership with individual <strong>garden</strong> owners<br />

as well as public and private organizations, the<br />

Conservancy provides the horticultural, technical,<br />

management, and financial expertise needed to<br />

sustain these fragile environments and ensure longterm<br />

stewardship of natural assets so essential to the<br />

aesthetic and cultural life of our communities.<br />

"America's exceptional <strong>garden</strong>s most often<br />

begin as private affairs, the life's work of passionate,<br />

dedicated and remarkably talented <strong>garden</strong>ers," says<br />

Bill Noble, director of preservation projects for the<br />

Garden Conservancy. "A select number of these<br />

<strong>garden</strong>s are capable of lasting for generations and<br />

need to become public <strong>garden</strong>s to facilitate their<br />

preservation and public visitation."<br />

The Garden Conservancy takes a leadership<br />

role in this transition for the American <strong>garden</strong>s in<br />

its diverse portfolio. It assists in the structuring of legal<br />

strategies and conservation easements to protect<br />

these resources from development, develops master<br />

plans for preservation, interpretation, horticultural<br />

management and public access, and helps establish<br />

sound fiscal and organizational foundations for each<br />

property.<br />
