DONOR NAMING
DONOR DEVELOPMENT - Chair: Linda Spina
Since 1986, the major goal of the Women’s Council has been to secure funding for the design, construction, and endowment of a major garden at the Dallas Arboretum. To that end, A Woman’s Garden was conceived and became reality with the opening of Phase I in September 1997 followed by the completion of Phase II in March 2006. Funding has been accomplished by the proceeds of events held annually by the Women’s Council and by the generosity of the benefactors who have honored the Women’s Council with financial gifts in the naming of features in the garden. It is with grateful appreciation that the Women’s Council recognizes these patrons and offers sincere thanks to each of them. These financial gifts have enabled the Women’s Council to bring to fruition the dream which is now manifest in this magnificent garden – a garden dedicated to all women.
GARDEN PROJECTS - Chairs: Sarah Andry and Pier Burgess
Throughout history, gardens and nature have always been associated with notions of Mother Earth, fertility, and femininity. A major garden of The Dallas Arboretum and internationally recognized for its own unique history, A Woman’s Garden was created out of a deep respect for nature and feminine ideals. As the garden continues developing toward completion, A Woman’s Garden has transformed the City of Dallas with its enduring legacy of inspired design. Internationally recognized Landscape Architect Morgan Wheelock’s visionary Master Plan continues to unfold through WCDABG Garden Development projects. Working year-round with Texas Landscape Architect Warren Hill Johnson for site analysis, planning, design and installation, the artisan “pocket” gardens throughout Phase II create aesthetically beautiful, meaningful spaces that of.fer the spiritual renewal central to Wheelock’s concept for A Woman’s Garden.
