During 2024 the Foundation in partnership with Virginia Cooperative Extension/Norfolk Master Gardeners continued the overhaul of the Garden's primary public facing native plant and pollinator bed. Considerable volunteer manpower was required to eradicate invasive plants and restore the biome to support more appropriate plants. In addition, the Square Foot Garden Demonstration Garden supplied 1,825 pounds of fresh produce to the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia. During the spring of 2024 our annual plant sale and craft show provided a venue to engage with hundreds of members of the public with horticultural education. In January, we held a public celebration to commemorate the 125th anniversary of Fred Heutte's birth highlighted by attendance by Norfolk's mayor and a mayoral proclamation thus bringing attention to the work of Fred Heutte and the Friends of Fred Heutte Foundation. In all, more than 55 Master Gardeners and community volunteers worked more than 1,743 hours in the Fred Heutte Garden. 0 25967 25967 Monica Shephard President 10 0 0 0 Scott Shephard Secretary/Treasurer 20 0 0 0 Mary Jo Rothgery Director 1 0 0 0 Ronda Baucom Director 1 0 0 0 Barry Fletcher Director 1 0 0 0 Bernard Platt Director 1 0 0 0 Jennifer Dawn Director 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 VA Mary Jo Rothgery 1000 Botetourt Gardens Norfolk VA 23507 7577241323 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 4931 4900 47352 23720 30763 111666 8667 4770 2970 24710 26341 67458 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 15750 15750 0 0 0 31500 29348 25420 50322 48430 57104 210624 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 210624 8677 0 2230 7098 15477 33482 0 0 0 0 0 0 8677 0 2230 7098 15477 33482 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 38025 25420 52552 55528 72581 244106 0.86284 0.87225 0.13716 0.12703 X Schedule A, Part I, Line 12 We do not have Other Income.

Due to serious health issues, Monica Shephard resigned as president in January 2025. As a result, her husband, Scott Shephard also resigned as Treasurer and Secretary in January 2025. The remaining 5 board members have worked hard to keep financial matters in order. We did not immediately realize that we were no longer eligible to file 990-N for 2024. It has taken us some time to get financial data together for this 990-EZ filing. To add to the confusion, our City of Norfolk owned facility was in lockdown from December 2024 to April 2025 due to renovations of the HVAC system. We have been working without an office. As a result of all this disruption as well as inexperience, we failed to file the extension Form 8868 by the filing deadline. We are a small all-volunteer non profit working to better our community. We apologize for any additional work this may cause you and we are hoping you will forgive us any penalties owed. Thank you! Mary Jo Rothgery, Treasurer (2025)
