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 />
