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. Additional plant removal was conducted in the fall of 2024, followed by ground cleanup and application of cedar chips to cover potentially contaminated soil. The irrigation project was finally completed but still requires some adjustment and fine tuning. Dissatisfaction with the irrigation project resulted in a decision not to use the same contractor for the drainage project, so that it is delayed indefinitely. Replacement planting began with the installation of 3 specimen trees in the northwest corner to provide some windbreak for other parts of the garden. The new tree procurement and installation and corrective pruning on some existing large trees was done by a licensed arborist. With permission from the City, an excavation contractor rebuilt some street right of way with rock and additional soil to provide additional parking and improve a planting area. Numerous annual and perennial plants were produced to provide filler and color where large plants had been removed. A group of volunteers donated about 2900 hours toward garden maintenance. 5557 0 680 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 1300 hours toward House operations. 1860 0 29304 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 with more emphasis on plants for the Garden and less on plants for sale. Total plants production continues to decline due to aging of persons involved. 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 1200 plants were produced. About 600 volunteer hours were applied to these activities. 0 0 0 42713 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 6 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 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 Kathie Arehart Director, President 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Jenny Dahrens Director, Vice President 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Cheri Rice Director, Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Karen Brown Director, Treasurer 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 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Connie Peabody Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 15941 0 15941 Plant sales 444240 9779 9779 0 0 Used book sales 459510 28 28 0 0 Garden House use fee 712130 930 930 0 0 Garden Tea event 712130 1989 1989 0 0 0 0 0 0 12726 8627 8627 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 0 0 0 17126 11674 5452 5452 0 0 0 42746 26805 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 0 125 125 0 0 0 0 32110 32110 420 420 2317 1493 824 8296 7802 494 385 346 39 Plant production expenses 542 542 0 0 0 44195 42713 1482 0 89427 37572 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4653 6431 0 235749 0 235749 235749 290360 359719 0 0 0 0 620189 639471 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 384440 403722 235749 235749 0 0 620189 639471 620189 639471 -1449 20731 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 13665 16027 19217 17340 15941 82190 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 13665 16027 19217 17340 15941 82190 4700 77490 14366 17234 18400 7175 8627 65802 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9518 2500 0 0 12018 160010 113860 0.48428 0.45961 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Schedule A, Part II, Line 10-Unusual Grants: 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 $2500. 0 190749 190749 0 45000 0 45000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 235749 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8b The organization has no committees with authority to act on behalf of the governing body.
