Olbrich Botanical Society Foundation serves as the steward and investment manager
of Olbrich’s endowment. In 2012, the Foundation contributed $159,613 to Olbrich
Botanical Society’s annual operating budget. This is equivalent to 4.5% of the average
balance of the fund in the previous 12 quarters.

Dear Friends of Olbrich Gardens,
We are grateful to all of you that even in a year of economic uncertainty Olbrich Botanical
Society met its revenue goals in 2012. Thank you for your participation in our efforts.
We hope you’ll appreciate the Annual Report in its new electronic format. This allows us to
expand the content without incurring cost of printing and mailing. Please contact Olbrich’s
Administration office at 608-246-4550 if you’d like us to mail you a printed copy of the 2012
Annual Report.
Again, thank you for your support in 2012!
Janet Loewi, Board President Roberta Sladky, Director
These Humble Hands That Garden
by Fabu, Madison Poet Laureate
These humble hands part earth quietly
gently separating soil
scooping out dirt pockets
that transform into earthen vessels
for hands to place growing treasures
that will connect to the earth, root
enrich and produce beauty and wonder.
These humble hands coax a flower
into bright life
speak a silent language to plants,
bushes and trees
encouraging them to thrive
expressing affection and appreciation
for them blessing the land.
These humble hands are covered in earth
that captures and draws out pain
weariness, anger, confusion
all the perplexities of a human day drain
down through these fingers into the ground
heavy emotions break and float away
peace settles deep into every joint and washes the mind.

Strengthened by our Partnerships
Thank you to all of our community and corporate sponsors who supported special events and who
help with the success of the Gardens. Please see page 21 for a complete list of sponsors.
• Olbrich is proud of its volunteers!: With 26,560.50 hours by 623 volunteers and 7 volunteer
groups, and an 80% retention rate, Olbrich had a remarkably successful 2012 volunteer
program! These overall volunteer rates are practically identical to the previous year’s volunteer
rates. Olbrich’s volunteer program is VERY stable. This allows staff to depend on volunteers to
get needed work done. While there are changes in jobs, changes in schedules, and changes in
abilities, the volunteer program delivers the assistance Olbrich needs every day.
• Media Partners - The Everyday Visitor Campaign: In 2012, Olbrich received $51,471 in
donated advertising (up from 2011) for the “everyday visitor campaign” by leveraging a small
advertising budget of $4,500. The goals for the “everyday visitor campaign” are to encourage
visitors to come to the Gardens during non-event periods; to visit for the first time; and to visit more
frequently.
• Olbrich participated in: National Public Gardens Day, Wisconsin Museums Week, Smithsonian
Museum Day Live, Travel Green Wisconsin, Madison Museums Collaboration, and Wisconsin
Invasive Species Council “Invader Crusader” awards ceremony.
Support from Local Businesses/Rhapsody in Bloom 2012
Guests enjoyed the 1920s theme for Olbrich’s annual garden gala. The community was generous,
with 32 local sponsor businesses and individuals. Donations for the silent auction were higher than
ever as volunteer Rhapsody in Bloom committee members worked with staff to secure 69 silent auction
items and four live auction items. The auction alone raised $15,234 - that’s $9,234 over goal!
Olbrich Botanical Society and the City of Madison Parks Division partner in the operation of Olbrich
Botanical Gardens. In 2012, the City of Madison spent $1,476,505 in direct costs for Olbrich
Botanical Gardens which was offset by $307,741 in revenue earned, resulting in a net expenditure
of $1,168,764.

Supporting our Community
Olbrich directly supported our community in 2012 and also partnered with Madison area nonprofits to improve the quality of life in our community.
• Donated 756 pounds of produce from the Children’s Kitchen Garden to the Second Harvest
Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin.
• Sponsored over 20 free concerts (donations were accepted) during the year that featured a
variety of local musicians.
• Participated in Wisconsin Public Television’s Garden Expo – a 3-day garden and gardener
extravaganza at the Alliant Energy Center.
• Designed two free flower shows, Spring Flower Show and Quilts in Bloom, for community enjoyment (donations accepted.)
• Celebrated the cultures of rainforest regions and educated visitors about the connection
between plants and people. In 2012, Brazilian and Polynesian dancers were featured.
Olbrich Home Garden Tour 2012: This tour inspired home gardeners as they got up close and
personal with creative plant combinations and landscape solutions. This year’s theme, “The
Welcoming Garden,” featured six private home gardens in the Highlands neighborhood, along
with the gardens at the Brittingham House. The Home Garden Tour experienced the highest
attendance in the past four years with more than 940 patrons!
Olbrich won first place as
“Best Ceremony Venue” in the
Wisconsin Bride Magazine,
Best of 2012 Reader’s Choice
Awards.
2012 Volunteer Excellence Award: OBS President Janet Loewi received the state-wide Wisconsin
Federation of Museums’ 2012 Volunteer Excellence Award. Janet represents the ideal activelyengaged board member, able to lead and problem solve because of her intimate knowledge of
Olbrich’s visitorship and how the organization operates. She was presented with the award at
their November 12 Annual Meeting.

The Arts in the Garden
Olbrich hosted the Greater Madison Writing Project’s (GMWP) Summer Teacher Institute, which
immersed the teacher participants in writing, reading, and teacher inquiry workshops to prepare
them to be teacher-leaders in their own schools. This National Writing Project program is a widely
recognized and successful model for K-16 professional development that helps teachers across
grade levels and subject areas learn strategies to teach students to become accomplished writers
and learners. The program also creates professional communities that help teachers keep their
instruction fresh and vibrant.
Olbrich’s outdoor gardens showcased an exhibition of Wisconsin sculptor
Robert Anderson’s Inflated Steel Sculptures.
“My parents and I really enjoyed our visit. They came to visit for the first time
from Colombia, South America. They were thrilled by the variety of plants and
beauty. The staff was outstanding, kind, helpful, AWESOME!!!” — Ana M. (onsite comment card)

A Big Celebration
The Gardens celebrated the 10th anniversary of the opening
of the Thai Pavilion and Garden:
• Thai Fest 2012, an afternoon of food, music and dance,
was held September 23. The Thai Cultural and Fine
Arts Institute of Chicago brought a performing group
who entertained thousands of guests with live music
and dance, while Madison’s Sa Bai Thong restaurant
provided delicious Thai food. The University of
Wisconsin-Madison Thai Student Association participated
with a demonstration of Loy Krathong and Olbrich’s
Education Department provided take-home activity kits
for children and families. It was a gorgeous afternoon
made successful through the participation of many
organizations and by the thoughtful preparations of
Olbrich staff who readied the Thai Garden, made sure
that enough power was available, and overall, helped
with whatever was needed.
• The fall Bolz Conservatory exhibit, Flora of Tropical
Thailand, highlighted the different ways Thai people use
the plants from their native forests.
• The summer Evjue Commons Art Exhibit featured works
inspired by the Thai Pavilion and Garden.
• Olbrich’s Education Department scheduled numerous
classes featuring tropical Thailand, including adult
programs such as “Tropical Gardens of Thailand,” and
youth & family programs with themes such as elephants,
monkeys, tropical flowers, and coconuts!

People in the Gardens
Olbrich counted 252,750 visitors in 2012, who entered between the hours of 9 am and 4 pm or
participated in events. Visitors who take advantage of evening hours between April and October are in
addition to this number.
Olbrich encourages adults of all ages to make a connection with plants and the larger community
through a year-long schedule of diverse, engaging events. All the while, these “fun-raisers” are also
“fundraisers” that help support the mission of the Gardens! The year 2012 saw successful new events
and record successes with returning events.
• Cocktails in the Conservatory: This new event, designed to attract the after-work crowd, brought
guests to the Bolz Conservatory for a winter evening of DJ music and tropical magic!
• Botanical Boogie – Winter Concert Series: The ballroom crowd had fun dancing away a winter
afternoon to live music. This new event has a promising future!
• Indulgence: Wine and Chocolate Tasting: Indulgence helps visitors foster a connection with
local producers, all the while enjoying samples of wine and chocolate inside the Conservatory
and Botanical Center. Visitors were able to talk with almost 20 Wisconsin wine and chocolate
purveyors, the most the event has ever showcased! A record number of tickets were sold — 374!
• Pansy & Primula Sales: Visitors appreciated beautiful, healthy plants grown locally in Olbrich’s
greenhouses. The Pansy Sale began at 10 a.m. and just one hour later more than half of the 1,000
pansies available had headed out the door! The Primula Sale is a new addition that brings color in
the early spring.
• CRACKLE, Fire & Froth: The successful second annual CRACKLE, Fire & Froth was an opportunity for
adults of all ages to enjoy a crisp fall evening on the Great Lawn with live music, local beer, local
food -- and bonfires!

Technology for a Green Future
• Facebook: Olbrich’s Facebook page ‘officially’ launched in March. By June we had 500 “likes,”
and by the end of the year, 1,400 likes! This is an excellent way to communicate behind-thescenes information and reach a new audience. Like us on Facebook!
• E-news: 2012 was the first entire year for the program, an excellent way for people to connect
with the Gardens. There were 111,601 e-mails sent in 2012. Feature articles that offered direct
expertise from Olbrich’s horticulture staff, such as how to deal with Japanese beetles, were the
most popular.
• Twitter: In 2012, we had fun Tweeting with a hashtag of #MartyMonarch during Olbrich’s
Blooming Butterflies to promote the “adopt a butterfly” program. Marty migrated in August, but
may return in 2013!
• 2012 Website: Website visits are steadily rising. In 2012, there were 192,491 visits to www.
olbrich.org, compared to 178,597 visits in 2011. That’s 13,894 more visits.
• Don’t Miss: This feature was added on Olbrich’s homepage to highlight something exciting
growing in the gardens or Conservatory – something different each week that you don’t want to
miss!
Publicity highlights:
• Country Gardens magazine, published by Better Homes and Gardens, chose Olbrich for the
article, “Our Favorite Public Gardens,” by nationally syndicated garden writer Marty Ross.
Olbrich was among a very prestigious list of the magazine’s favorite 20 gardens, right up there
with Chicago, Missouri, Longwood, Monticello, Chanticleer, Winterthur, and more! In describing
Olbrich the article stated, “Ideas worth taking home: Olbrich’s pots are gorgeous: containers,
planted with annuals, perennials, bulbs, herbs, vegetables, and bog plants, are skillfully placed
throughout the garden. Don’t miss: Beautiful rain gardens limit storm water runoff. A knot garden
of herbs is the centerpiece of the exuberant Herb Garden. In winter, lose yourself in the lush tropical
plants in the Conservatory.”
• In 2012, Olbrich was highlighted in almost 150 feature articles in local, regional, and national
media. Staff members shared their expertise in dozens of interviews. Sustainable topics were
prominently featured.
“Thank you so much. We
had a wonderful visit and
the gardens were gorgeous.
We are so fortunate to have
such a glorious place to
visit.” Sue S. (via email)
