Garden Week Recap

by , Director of Art Education in Gardens, Programs

Mar

Garden Week is our sole fundraiser for our historic gardens. The funds raised from Garden Week are dedicated to the restoration of our Olmsted Garden. Without the generosity and support of our donors and sponsors, we could not host Garden Week at The Cummer. We would like to thank our Garden Week sponsors and donors, along with everyone who attended Garden Week, for their generous support. Together we are fulfilling Ninah Cummer’s dream of making The Cummer “a place of beauty and culture for all.”
