Dear Friends of Peckerwood Garden,
Whether or not you were directly impacted by Hurricane Harvey, if you live in the region, you have been through a trying time. We hope you and your family came through the flood unharmed. A great many people are still in need of assistance, and we are aware that this fundraiser, a critical means of financial support for Peckerwood Garden, comes at an inopportune time. Taking a long-term view, we believe supporting gardens like Peckerwood is more essential than ever. Gardens serve not only as sanctuaries, providing extraordinary beauty, solitude, and educational opportunities, they also preserve landscapes that are increasingly being paved over, a significant factor in flooding. In the words of our keynote speaker, Charles Birnbaum, “Neglect and inappropriate development put our irreplaceable landscape legacy increasingly at risk.” Peckerwood Garden is, indeed, an irreplaceable cultural landscape; one that faces its own contemporary challenges. We are so grateful for all you have done in the past to ensure the garden’s survival, and we hope you will consider continuing to support us in whatever way you can, even in this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Randy Twaddle and Jill Whitten, Co-Chairs, Taking Root
