Dear Citizens of Montgomery:

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Montgomery Botanical Gardens, we thank you for your ardent support and participation in the celebrations in our Gardens at Oak Park for National Public Gardens Week May 13-19, 2019. The Montgomery Botanical Gardens at Oak Park joins more than 175 Gardens commemorating the week nationwide.

Montgomery went green, thanks to the RSA Center located at 501 Dexter Avenue, and offered 15 exciting events throughout the week. We had more than 500 visitors to the Montgomery Botanical Gardens for the sponsored events and the Celebration. We are growing with new additions to the Gardens weekly. The Lions are returning to the Gardens.

The work we do would not be possible without the generous support of our donors. We thank all of the individuals, corporations, clubs, organizations, and foundations that have supported and will continue to support us in the future.

Our Mission to develop a stellar botanical garden for inspiration, education, and enrichment, is fast becoming a reality. Our Vision is to be a Garden that embraces Montgomery’s future as a vibrant, diverse city with an exceptional quality of life for all who live in and visit Montgomery.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of you for helping us forge our vision into reality. Again, thank you for your continued commitment, dedication, and faithful support of the Montgomery Botanical Gardens.

Sincerely,

Dr. Tyna D. Davis, President
Montgomery Botanical Gardens

Board Member and Band Member, Amanda Borden welcomed everyone to the Montgomery Botanical Gardens at Oak Park’s first Band performance.  Bluegrass band, Bama Skiffle played a wonderful mix of songs for the guests that brought chairs and enjoyed the gorgeous afternoon.

Audience participation was encouraged and many sang along to variety of crowd favorite.  Many attendees brought picnics and sat under the trees.  The trees at the garden provided the perfect amount of shade for the guests.

Children enjoyed the concert, swinging on the gliders, and painting.

If you would like to attend our next picnic concert, please consider a membership.  

The Tree ID tour through the Montgomery Botanical Gardens at Oak Park on Thursday during National Public Garden Week was very informative.

Besides the large number of well established Oaks, Pines and Cherry trees, we have planted Tulip Poplar, Oak, Dogwood, Chaste, Crepe Myrtle, and Magnolia trees this past year.

We were excited to have several home school children attend and learn about the various trees at the Garden.  We look forward to having even more students in the garden this next school year.

If you would like to attend our next Tree Id walk, please consider a membership to be the first to know.

As the attendees walked through the Montgomery Botanical Gardens at Oak Park last Friday morning, they were surprised and pleased with the number and variety of birds that are in the garden.  As we plant more pollinator plants, we only expect this number to grow.

If you would like to know when the next bird watching tour is, please consider a membership at the Montgomery Botanical Gardens.  Memberships start at $25 per year.
