With monies raised through donors, family foundations, and the annual soiree, the Fund has initiated and financed several botanical enhancement projects in Pinecrest Gardens. In working with the Garden’s horticulturist in assessing the areas of greatest need, the targeted improvements that have thus far been made have had a significant and positive impact on some of the Garden’s most frequented sites.
In their efforts to assist the Village of Pinecrest in their ongoing maintenance of Pinecrest Gardens, the Fund’s board of directors is continuously seeking sites that call for attention and enrichment. The Garden is a living entity that is forever changing and growing, and we are steadfast in our dedication to the belief that it contains the potential to be one of the most important botanical treasures in South Florida.
