Dear Richmond Rose Garden Donors,
As we step into a new season at the Garden filled with promise and potential, we take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you. Your generous contributions to the 2024 Richmond Rose Garden Annual Fund have made a profound impact on our organization, allowing us to continue our mission.
The Impact of Your Generosity
Your donations have enabled us to:
- Enhance the Garden: With your support this past year, we have been able to improve the garden by adding tree benches in the shade, adding new Gazebo gutters and French drains, fixing irrigation system issues as they arise, adding a security light at the entrance, making upgrades to our electrical system, adding a decorative fence around our rosy rollers, enhancing the entrance of the Garden with new seasonal planters.
- Invest in Roses: We have purchased 50 new roses to plant in 2025.
- Support Our Volunteers: Your contributions help us attract and retain dedicated volunteers who are passionate about making a difference. We were able to celebrate our volunteers at a special awards program at Forest Hills Country Club last November.
A Community United
Your generosity is a testament to the power of community. It is because of donors like you that we are able to continue to make the Richmond Rose Garden a destination for locals and visitors. Each donation, regardless of size, is a step towards a beautiful place for all to enjoy.
Looking Ahead
As we look to the future, we are excited about the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. We are committed to transparency and accountability, and we will continue to share updates on how your donations are making an impact.
A Warm Thank You
Once again, thank you for your unwavering support and belief in our mission. We could not do this without you, and we are incredibly grateful for your trust and generosity.
Sincerely,
Richmond Rose Garden Board of Directors
