It is unattended a good deal of the time, much like a park. The 2022 discovery of a pathogen of federal regulatory concern, Phytophthora ramorum, in the garden, continues to have detrimental effects. A contractor conducted removal and proper disposal of infected plants, and cleanup and soil treatment of affected areas. Subsequent testing found more infected plants, which should be removed in the fall of 2024.The total number of plants removed may reach 200, mostly rhododendrons, some quite large. Because of the necessary disruption, it was decided upgrade both the irrigation and drainage systems in the garden. These items had been under discussion for the last few years, so combining the disruption made sense. The irrigation project was begun in late winter, but delays pushed completion to late summer. Start time of the drainage project is uncertain at this time. Normal garden work was disrupted but continued where practical. A group of volunteers donated about 2700 hours toward garden maintenance. 4538 0 1320 The Garden House: Originally the residence of a retired botanist who developed the garden over a twenty year period. The Garden House was remodeled early on to correct some deficiencies and make it more suitable to the mission of the Conservancy. It is approximately 1440 square feet. The building dates to the 1940's and is likely to need major renovation or replacement at some point. The Conservancy is accumulating funds for that eventuality. Some possible structural issues have beeen detected and were corrected this year. The remodel resulted in a five room, plus restroom, building. The main room serves as a meeting room, a gallery for local artists on a rotating basis, a class and event room, and a lunch room for volunteers. Other rooms include a horticultural reference library, a kitchen, a small garden related gift shop/host station, and a small office/store room. The House is now hosted seven days a week from March through early December. Volunteers donated about 1200 hours toward House operations. 1896 0 22541 Activities: The 'Garden Gazette', a quarterly newsletter, is produced and distributed to donor members, by mail and e-mail, and made available to visitors, about 275 per quarter. Information sheets on local gardening and plant care are generated and made available free of charge. Through the efforts of a photographer volunteer, a pictorial record of the Garden is being developed, which includes digitized pictures from Connie Hansen's collection. Various groupings of these photos are used for presentations. Gift Shop sales continue to increase, necessitating more hours acquiring and restocking inventory. Production of locally appropriate plant material, done by volunteers in donated facilities, for use in the Garden and for sale to the public, continued at a somewhat slower pace, due to some production issues. Sales to the public are done on an honor system of money in envelopes through a mail slot when the Garden House is not open. Sales were down slightly from the previous year. About 1500 plants were produced. About 700 volunteer hours were applied to these activities. 0 0 0 15963 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 OR X Karen Brown 5419946338 PO Box 776 Lincoln City OR 97367 X Kathie Arehart President, director 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Jenny Dahrens Vice President, director 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Cheri Rice Secretary, Director 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Karen Brown Secretary-Treasurer, director 4 0 X X 0 0 0 Priscilla Patterson Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Nancy Chase Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Shannon Loch Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1000 16340 0 17340 Plant Sales 444240 13114 13114 0 0 Used book sales 459510 54 54 0 0 Garden House use 900099 1320 1320 0 0 Garden Tea event 722300 2006 2006 0 0 0 0 0 0 16494 7175 7175 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 14424 7033 7391 7391 0 0 0 48400 31060 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 50 0 50 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5444 5444 0 0 1039 1039 0 0 1968 886 1082 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8049 7620 429 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 363 327 36 0 plant production supplies 647 647 0 0 0 0 0 0 17560 15963 1597 0 65929 89427 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4510 4653 0 0 235749 0 235749 235749 265024 290360 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 571212 620189 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 335463 384440 235749 235749 0 0 571212 620189 571212 620189 30840 18161 0 0 -24 0 X 0 0 0 X 11726 13665 16027 19217 17340 77975 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11726 13665 16027 19217 17340 77975 4834 73141 9969 14366 17234 18400 7175 67144 0 0 0 0 0 2000 0 9518 2500 0 14018 159137 114011 0.45961 0.42754 X Schedule A, Part I, Line 10 Unusual Grants: FY 2019-20 received 04-01-2020 $2000; FY 2021-22 received 09-15-2021 $2000, received 12-02-2021 $5000, received 04/26/2022 $2517.51, FY 2022-23 received 1-3-2023 $2,500.00.
