Focus
Our partnerships
Projects with our partners include developing and maintaining gardens at targeted locations, meeting historical preservation requirements at some sites and creating inviting, soothing entrance gardens at other locations. We tap into grants, fund projects ourselves, and provide a great deal of human work hours.
We support our partners’ special events by decorating, co-sponsoring, teaching, and giving away plants. Our biggest collaborative community events include Fall Farm Days, in conjunction with the Roswell Youth Day Parade, the great azalea give-away at the Roswell Azalea Festival, and decorating key Roswell locations for the holidays.
