It is a privilege to formally announce our most recent gift of $50,000 from the Marge Sullivan Fund especially in a month dedicated to preservation. This donation has already proven a catalyst for matching donations of another $50,000 all of which will be put towards a future Horticultural Study Center at the Jay Heritage Center.
JHC is enormously grateful for this leadership gift and thrilled at the prospect of launching a four-season learning space where garden volunteers, educators and students can study native species, botany, landscape design and much more.
The late Margaret “Marge” D. Sullivan was no stranger to the fields of garden restoration and preservation. Marge had a profound understanding of the challenges for public gardening and was a firm believer that horticulture should be accessible to everyone. She served as chair of the New York Committee of the Garden Club of America.
