The Garden Life: A Year of Growth, Grit & Giving
Monty Don said it best: “A garden is not a place, it’s a journey.” And wow—what a journey 2024 has been at Heathcote! From surviving a wild hurricane season to unveiling a completely refreshed Gift Shop (thanks to your generosity), we’ve planted, rebuilt, and bloomed with purpose. With over 8,000 volunteer hours, an 11% boost in revenue, new roofs, faster internet, expanded gardens, and a pet-friendly pass—your support turned every challenge into opportunity. Our biggest event, the Garden of Lights, lit up lives and raised over $115,000, proving once again that magic happens when community comes together.
Now, with big dreams for 2025—including a sensory garden, orchid partnerships, and critical upgrades—we’re reaching out for your help to grow even more. Every dollar makes a difference, and thanks to a $13,000 matching challenge, your gift can go twice as far! Ready to keep this garden journey going?
