Since 2010, this important initiative has been generously supported by John S. Rainey, Brookgreen's Chairman Emeritus, in honor of his wife, Anne Edens Rainey. “The Rainey gift allows us to reach out to sculptors and sculpture students from as far away as Tasmania, spreading the word about Brookgreen Gardens and its treasures,” said Robin Salmon, Brookgreen’s Vice President of Art and Historical Collections and Curator of Sculpture “It is especially appropriate since Anne Rainey has had a deep appreciation for the beauty of the natural world and the artistic world.” Anne Edens Rainey has devoted much of her life to making the places she sees and touches more beautiful. In South Carolina, Anne was named chairman of Columbia Green in 1992 and guided it into a vibrant, well-financed organization “The Rainey gift allows us to reach out to sculptors and sculpture students from as far away as Tasmania...” - Robin Salmon ~4~ with a secure endowment. Under her leadership, its Gateway Beautification Project transformed major Columbia traffic arteries and gateways into award-winning garden spots. She also spearheaded the planting of 80 palmetto trees along the Gervais Street gateway to commemorate the 50th reunion of the Doolittle Raiders, one tree for each airman who trained in Columbia and flew the 1942 air strike against Japan. From 1994-1999, Anne served on the board of the Congaree Land Trust, which was established in 1992 to promote voluntary conservation of scenic lands, open spaces, farms, natural areas, and significant habitats in central South Carolina. Anne’s volunteerism has followed her passion for the great In Anne's garden in Cordillera, CO with German Shepherd -Heidi ~5~ Brookgreen’s celebrated Master Sculptor Program was created in 2003. During the past decade, it has brought many of our nation’s leading figurative sculptors to Brookgreen Gardens for residencies on the property. In addition to relaxing, reflecting, and working on individual projects, the artists also share their knowledge and vision by conducting sculpture workshops and by presenting public programs such as lectures and sculpting demonstrations. Sculptor Garland Weeks and student Susie Chisholm outdoors and the environment. She served as chairman of the Palmetto Conservation Foundation (1999-2001) and significantly expanded its signature project, The Palmetto Trail, South Carolina’s longest cycling and pedestrian trail that will ultimately run some 425 miles from the mountains to the sea. During her tenure, Anne guided the process that put in place the largest corporate conservation easement in South Carolina’s history, 6,000 acres donated by Nucor Steel, as well as easements for the Camden Polo Field and three Revolutionary War battlefields: Camden, Blackstock, and Musgrove Mill. An accomplished Master Gardener, her gardens at the Raineys’ homes in Pawleys Island, the Vail Valley of Colorado, and their former home in Columbia, have been recognized for their beauty and certified by the National Wildlife Federation as Backyard Wildlife Habitats. Anne was interviewed in the garden of their Colorado home for a 2001 HGTV series, “The Secret Gardens of Vail,” featuring three outstanding private gardens in the Vail Valley. Anne’s interest in the natural world of the Vail Valley extended to historic preservation, and she envisioned and founded with John the Cordillera Anne in her Columbia, SC garden Preservation Foundation, which successfully restored and preserved several “Old West” structures in the valley. In 2006, John established “Anne’s Garden” at USC’s Arnold School of Public Health in the heart of Columbia in honor of his wife. “Named for the love of my life … whose love of gardening has transformed the world around her,” said John. The garden was unveiled at the dedication of the Public Health Research Center as a surprise for Anne. Its centerpiece is a bronze fountain called Las Palomas, translated from Spanish as “The Doves” and epitomizing the image of hope, which was designed by fellow Brookgreen Trustee Sandy Scott, one of the nation’s premiere wildlife sculptors. In 2008, Anne received the BMW Conservation Award, recognizing her life-time contributions toward the preservation and enhancement of South Carolina’s natural beauty. Native South Carolinians, the Raineys live in Camden, where they are active in the community’s arts, historical, and horse-racing circles. Earlier this year, they commissioned bronze statues of Camden native sons Larry Doby, the first AfricanAmerican baseball player to integrate the American League, and financier Bernard Baruch, who was of Jewish ancestry and an adviser to six presidents from Woodrow Wilson to John F. Kennedy. The sculptures by Maria Kirby-Smith of Camden were installed in front of the Camden Archives and Museum. John and Anne Rainey’s love of art and gardens and their generous philanthropy have had a significant impact on Brookgreen Gardens and on the communities in which they live. Huntington Society members since 1995, John and Anne Rainey have supported major building renovation projects including the Brown Sculpture Court, Wall Lowcountry Center, and Campbell Center for American Sculpture, as well as important sculpture acquisitions, such as Glenna Goodacre’s popular Pledge Allegiance. John and his siblings, through the “More than any couple since Archer and Anna Huntington, John and Anne Rainey have been generous in their support of Brookgreen Gardens...” - Bob Jewell, President & CEO Anne and John Rainey shortly before Reconciliation dedication ~6~ Rainey’s foundation, funded Brookgreen Gardens’ Callie and John Rainey Sculpture Pavilion named for their parents, which presents changing sculpture exhibitions throughout the year. According to Brookgreen’s President and CEO Bob Jewell, “More than any couple since Archer and Anna Huntington, John and Anne Rainey have been generous in their support of Brookgreen Gardens, generous with their time, and generous in sharing their love of Brookgreen with others. Over the span of many years, their caring actions have had a positive influence and facilitated the long-term sustainability of the gardens.” ~7~ Experiencing Gullah Geechee Culture at Brookgreen Gardens by Ronald Daise, Vice President for Creative Education Gullah Geechee culture is many things to many people. A feeling. The ebb and flow of meandering tidal inlets and creeks etched forever with hand-dug canals along abandoned rice fields. The rhythmic speech ways spoken by residents of coastal communities of the Southeastern United States. Forgotten and pained memories of slave cabins, cotton fields, indigostained hands, and backbreaking field labor. Pots full of rice and captivating aromas of steamed crabs, fried shrimp, butterbeans, and gravy. A surge of pride in connecting with the St. Helena Island, South Carolinahome-town roots of American Idol’s 2013 winner Candice Glover or watching the Gullah Geechee Commission’s float during the 2013 Presidential Inaugural Parade. Hands outstretched to clap, clap-clap-clap or to place personal effects upon a deceased family member’s grave. Day-to-day life. In 2002, the Brookgreen Gardens Board of Directors expanded the organization’s mission to include historical programs and interpretation. Since then, the presentation of local and regional Gullah heritage has informed and intrigued numerous Brookgreen visitors. “Enslaved Africans contributed a significant culture to the lands now known as Brookgreen Gardens,” said Bob Jewell, Brookgreen’s President and CEO. “About 500 once lived on Brookgreen Plantation. The former rice fields where they labored, the very grounds which cover the Street ~8~ A rice field trunk, gift from the Historical Ricefields Association where they lived, and their burial grounds are important areas of our country’s history. It is imperative for our visitors that we interpret that rich history well, and also the history of their descendants, the Gullah Geechee people.” I came aboard as Vice President for Creative Education in 2004. Believe it or not, I’d never seen a rice trunk. I knew about the rice connection of Gullah people with West African heritage, but people in my lowcountry St. Helena Island community grew rice in small fields near their yards to feed their families. It was not a major production, as in nearby Colleton or Charleston communities or way up the road in Georgetown County. “Enslaved Africans contributed a significant culture to the lands now known as Brookgreen Gardens...” - Bob Jewell, President & CEO My first recollection of seeing a rice trunk was during my voyage on Brookgreen’s “Creek Excursion” boat ride. The program, begun in 1995, informs visitors about the contributions of technological skills and labor by enslaved West Africans to the rice industry of Georgetown County’s 45,000 acres of rice fields during the 1800s. One of these skills was the use of rice trunks, a long cylindrical wooden box that would be placed in the dikes of dirt around rice fields. A flap gate would be installed at each end of the trunk—on the side of the fresh water river or creek and the side of the rice field—for flooding and draining the fields. In the freshwater tidal creeks of their homelands, West Africans inserted hollowed tree trunks in the dikes. Hence, the origin of the name “rice trunk.” The recording of Ben the Trunkminder, along Brookgreen’s Lowcountry Trail reminds listeners about the important work on rice plantations of trunk minders, elder enslaved Africans whose task, or job, was to manage the trunks. “From my office window,” I wrote in my book, Gullah Branches, West African Roots (Sandlapper Publishing, 2007), “I overlook Brookgreen Main, Brookgreen Plantation’s major ricefield, which teemed with enslaved African workers some 200 years ago. I see glimpses of them from time to time. As I walk The Lowcountry Trail—amidst ancient live oaks draped with moss and archeological depictions of the overseer’s cabin, smokehouse , kitchen, and dependency—I sense the presence of their spirits. I hear their voices, too: `Bout time oona come,’ they whisper. `Tell de wol bout we. Tell dem bout all we done done. All we come shru. You yeddy me?’ (Or rather, `Do you hear me?’)” Springfield Creek Excursions I’m honored to have begun the Brookgreen Gardens “Gullah Geechee Program Series.” Since 2007, I’ve presented Wednesday lecture presentations to about 7,000 visitors. Some of the information I present concerns the connections of Gullah Geechee culture with West African cultures, which I saw firsthand during my participation in the historic “Priscilla’s Homecoming” event in Sierra Leone in 2005. Financial support by a Brookgreen Gardens Board of Trustees member made my participation possible. In varying interactive formats, my presentations also inform about the unknown origins of the words “Gullah” and “Geechee”: that they identify a language, a culture, and a group of people; and about numerous facets of Gullah Geechee culture and heritage. I explain that whereas “Gullah” had once been used to identify the culture of the descendants of enslaved West Africans in South Carolina and North Carolina while “Geechee” ~9~ had been used as a cultural identifier in Georgia and Florida, the term “Gullah Geechee” is being embraced collectively as self-identification. We wish to claim how we identify ourselves, not by the names that have been ascribed to us by historians, anthropologists, and linguists. I’m grateful for Brookgreen’s support of my work as a South Carolina commissioner with the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor Commission. The Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor was established in 2006 by federal legislation, which was sponsored by Congressman James E. Clyburn (SC—District 06). It is the only one of 49 National Heritage Areas that promotes the living culture of an African American population. Its boundaries include the lands and waterways along the coastal communities from Wilmington, North Carolina south throughout South Carolina and Georgia to St. Augustine, Florida. My service is as a Special Government Employee, g rice in Women hull which translates as “volunteer”. Since June of 2012, I’ve served as the Gullah Geechee Commission’s second chairman and coordinated its participation in the 2013 Presidential Inaugural Parade. What an experience that was! The pride of parade viewers as our float Aerial view of Brookgreen traveled the parade route was palpable. For years, the words “Gullah” and “Geechee” had been regarded as negative connotations of an inferior people and culture. Yet viewers were waving and cheering with jubilation and pride. And First Lady Michelle Obama, whose ancestral roots are in Georgetown, SC, and President Barack Obama rose to their feet and beamed at us affectionately as we passed the Presidential Reviewing Stand. That was a day unlike any other day! It fostered international positive acknowledgement to Gullah Geechee culture. As fellow float participant Commissioner Willie Heyward (SC) described the event: “From the boat to the float. From despair to hope!” Event photos are available on the Corridor’s website, www.gullahgeecheecorridor.org. Brookgreen’s other initiatives for promoting Gullah Geechee heritage include “Gullah Gullah Days,” an annual field trip program for ~ 10 ~ third graders of Georgetown and Horry Counties. Begun in 2002, the program completed its 11th observance this past February and has provided instruction to more than 24,500 children. The event’s postfield trip publication, Wha E Mean fa Be Gullah (As Seen through the Eyes of Georgetown and Horry County Third Graders), is available for sale at Keepsakes Gift Shop. Brookgreen’s Lowcountry Audio Trail and The Oaks Plantation History Trail garnered Brookgreen Gardens the 2011 SC Heritage Tourism Award. And visitors continually marvel at the Wall Lowcountry Center’s ongoing “Lowcountry Change and Continuity” Exhibit, which features a floor map of an aerial view showcasing Georgetown County’s massive former rice fields. They also are amazed at the Cypress Log Exhibit, on which one views the axe and hatchet marks made by enslaved Africans to fell it some 200 years ago for the clearing of a rice field. The Creative Education Department also has provided related educational and cultural exhibits and displays. Beginning in 2006, these have included: “Finding Priscilla’s Children”, “Cross-Continental Cultural Connections”, “Bunce Island: A British Slave Castle in Sierra Leone”, “The Fabric of a People: AfricanAmerican Art, Experiences & Contributions”,“Etched In The Eyes: The Spirit of a People Called Gullah Geechee”, and “Sweetgrass: A Living Legacy of Family and Community.” “We are very pleased for the altruism of former Board of Trustee Chairman John Rainey and his wife Anne toward our Gullah initiative,” said Jewell. In their names, Brookgreen gifted in 2007 a copy of De Good Nyews Wa John Write, or Gullah Bible, to each South Carolina public library, the Library of Congress, and each service academy and presidential library. Through their sponsorship in 2011, Brookgreen also provided funding for the production of Healin fa de Soul, the companion Gullah Bible recording project. In 2012, Brookgreen gifted CD copies of this largest collection of Gullah recordings ever made available to the public to the libraries previously mentioned. “We’re also pleased,” Jewell said, “to acknowledge that through Brookgreen’s nomination of Ron Daise because of his noteworthy efforts toward cultural preservation at Brookgreen and beyond, he received the SC African American Heritage Commission’s 2007 Lifetime Achievement Award. And Ron’s `Gullah Christmas Story’ presentation during our Nights of a Thousand Candles celebration continues to delight our holiday guests.” Brookgreen will engage in an oral history recording project at Brookgreen Gardens this summer. It is being conducted in cooperation with a partnership of the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor Commission and the B.N. Duke Scholars Program of Duke University in Durham, NC. Interns will interview former residents, descendants, or workers of Brookgreen, Laurel Hill, Springfield and The Oaks Plantations, the communities on which Brookgreen Gardens is established. Participants will be asked to share experiences and memories and/or recollections of Brookgreen’s founders, Archer and Anna Hyatt Huntington. The project will involve documentation and preservation, much like the Work Progress Administration’s Federal Writers’ Project of the 1930s. Information gathered will be meaningful to the understanding of Gullah Geechee culture in Georgetown County. With the May approval of the Gullah Geechee Corridor’s management plan by the Office of the U.S. Secretary of the Interior, the Gullah Geechee Commission has begun receiving partnership applications for the implementation of projects and programs. The implementation tiers are Education, Documentation and Preservation, and Economic Development. Through partnerships for specific ~ 11 ~ Bottle Tree programs or as Partner Sites that convey interpretive themes, the Gullah Geechee Commission will engage in “Tellin We Story.” That’s the interpretation framework outlined in the management plan. Gullah Geechee people wish to accurately inform others about our history and our culture. Toward that end, visitors have learned and experienced much about Gullah Geechee history at Brookgreen Gardens. 3rd graders at Gullah Gullah Days s by boat Mrs. Huntington arrive “Conservation of natural resources is an issue of great interest, thought, and activity...” - Gurdon L. Tarbox, Jr. natural life of a given district as a museum, and as it is a garden, and gardens have from early times been rightly embellished by the art of the sculptor, that principle has found expression in American creative art…To these have been added, within the bounds stated, the verse of some of those writers who have taken pleasure in the beauty of nature and her living forms, now so rapidly being depleted through ignorance and greed… It may be well not to forget inspiration, the sister of religion, without whose discovery of Southern coastal areas as valuable recreation sites. Of Brookgreen Gardens’ many accomplishments, among the most important is its preservation of diverse ecosystems stretching over thousands of acres from the Atlantic Ocean across the Waccamaw Neck to the Waccamaw River and Sandy Island, a large tract of land between the Waccamaw and Pee Dee Rivers. These ecosystems are comprised of beaches, salt marshes, maritime forests, pine woods, upland forests, river bluffs, transplanted numerous interesting and rare species onto the property during his 35-year tenure. Willett Randall, the first zookeeper, had a special interest in migratory waterfowl and wild turkeys. He A Living Heritage: Land Management and Conservation at Brookgreen Gardens T he history of Brookgreen Gardens and its land has been enriched by its residents, staff, and benefactors and their myriad connections in the worlds of science and arts and letters. Brookgreen Gardens has a long history of protecting and preserving the natural resources of its property. In January 1930, Archer Huntington and his wife, Anna Hyatt Huntiongton, purchased acreage on the northeast coast of South Carolina, between the communities of Murrells Inlet and Pawleys Island, on a peninsula known as the Waccamaw Neck. At the time, the best way to travel there was by boat. Captivated by the Lowcountry landscape, Anna wrote to her sister in January 1930: “I must tell you about our one day at Brookgreen while it is fresh in my mind, else all that we have seen since will dim it…The white sand paths that run among the trees shining like patches of snow among the patches of yellow and green moss add to the lure. Even the swamp land is lovely with the oaks and their long swaying mosses, the lovely cypress with its uncanny trunk, bulbous-like mushroom growths and lots of holly….” On July 13, 1931, Brookgreen Gardens was incorporated under the laws of South Carolina as an eleemosynary corporation entitled “Brookgreen Gardens, A Society for Southeastern Flora and Fauna” by its founders, Archer and Anna Huntington. From its inception, Brookgreen had three ~ 12 ~ primary purposes: (1) to collect, preserve, and exhibit American figurative sculpture; (2) to collect, preserve, and exhibit the plants of the Southeast; and (3) to collect, preserve, and exhibit the animals of the Southeast. At its founding, Archer Huntington recognized the significance of the physical land and wrote about his plans for its preservation in the first publication of the new institution. In part, he stated: “Brookgreen Gardens is a quiet joining of hands between science and art. The original plan involved a tract of land from the Waccamaw River to the sea in Georgetown County, South Carolina, for the preservation of the flora and fauna of the Southeast… Its object is the presentation of the union this world might yet become a desert.” By 1932, Brookgreen Gardens was open to visitors as a botanical garden of Southeastern plants, a sanctuary for animals native to the region, and an outdoor museum of American sculpture. By 1934, it had grown to include several garden areas featuring landscaped settings for sculpture and a zoo of native animals. Eventually, the property expanded to include over 9,000 acres, with about 350 acres open to the public and the remainder left as protected natural wildlife habitat and undisturbed historic sites. The Huntingtons prophesied the land development that followed World War II, and the public’s freshwater swamps, sand hills, and all of the various plant and animal communities found there. The staff hired in the 1930s to lead the preservation activities of Brookgreen Gardens included men knowledgeable in the field of natural history. Frank Tarbox, the first horticulturist, was a native plant expert who ~ 13 ~ by Robin Salmon, Vice President of Art & Historical Collections & Curator of Sculpture was responsible for developing a program at Brookgreen in the 1930s to protect and increase the native turkey population which is recognized by researchers as the forerunner of procedures later adopted by the National Wild Turkey Federation. Gurdon L. Tarbox, Jr. became property manager in 1954 to assist his uncle, Frank Tarbox, with day-to-day management of the Gardens. Along with his other duties, Gurdon Tarbox was a forester who managed Brookgreen’s thousands of acres of Rachel Carson, and Aldo Leopold… The world’s population has grown dramatically and people’s expectations of the benefits and comforts of technology have risen. As more people are expecting more from a forestland from the late 1950s shrinking resource base, the scope through the early 1990s. During of conservation has of necessity his presidency, he emphasized Brookgreen’s conservation activities, become very broad, encompassing practically every aspect of our writing in Vol. XXI, No. 2 of lives… Brookgreen Gardens the Brookgreen Journal in 1991: “Conservation of natural resources [provides] a starting point by is an issue of great interest, thought, setting a good example, preserving a variety of natural physiographic and activity.

Portions of the developed and undeveloped property were also listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 and the entire property was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1992. Beginning in 2000, the forested areas were managed by The Nature Conservancy on behalf of Brookgreen Gardens. Today, the forest management plan is conducted by professional staff. A red-cockaded woodpecker habitat, initiated on the property in the 1990s, is overseen by Mike Ammons, Brookgreen’s Director of Landscaping and Natural Areas. He manages the trees inhabited by red-cockaded woodpeckers in partnership with the SC Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) by inventorying known trees, marking new ones, and maintaining the habitat. Brookgreen Gardens also receives woodpeckers transferred from other properties through its participation in the Safe Harbor Program, administered through SCDNR. Mike Ammons implements the current forest management plan with the help of Tim Dargan, a registered forester. The plan consists of prescribed burns conducted on 200 acres per year, herbicide application to selected locations that are too close to residential areas to allow burning, and occasional thinning of loblolly pine to facilitate restoration and maintenance of longleaf pine. Ammons also surveys 2,500 acres on the east side of US Highway 17 that are leased to SCPRT for Huntington Beach State Park and 1,500 acres on Sandy Island, both owned by Brookgreen Gardens. Brookgreen Gardens has a cooperative relationship with the Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge which oversees much of the other land on Sandy Island. Working with Mike Ammons is a staff of four dedicated professionals who maintain vast developed and undeveloped portions of the Brookgreen property. Led by Landscape Supervisor Mack Parker (a Brookgreen employee for 43 years), Melvin Jefferson, Mike Ammons and Mack Parker casting off from the boat dock Tony Grant, and Isaiah Nettles extend their skills to controlled burns, tree and shrub cutting and pruning, mowing, bush-hogging, road grading, and other large-scale tasks that maintain and preserve both the cultivated and the natural landscapes of Brookgreen Gardens. With public programs that extend into outlying areas, their work is important to keep these remote locations available to interested visitors. Pertaining to wildlife on the property, Mike Ammons coordinates a program begun in 1991 with SCDNR to place and maintain wood duck boxes on the property. The boxes are surveyed and maintained twice a year with the help of Smith Ragsdale of the Historic Ricefields Association and three volunteers. According to the SCDNR, the wood duck is the most important species to waterfowl enthusiasts in South Carolina and is the only duck for which production habitat can be ~ 15 ~ managed effectively throughout all geographic regions of the state. This project supplements natural production in tree cavities of forested wetlands by providing artificial nesting sites. The Brookgreen program has a good 30% success rate in attracting breeding wood ducks. The Historic Ricefields Association also advises Ammons in the management of “Brookgreen Main”, an original rice field that was re-impounded in 1998 to attract migratory waterfowl and other wildlife to be viewed by birdwatchers and school groups from an overlook constructed along the field. Mike Ammons also monitors and traps feral hogs, alligators, and other wildlife on the property and he patrols the woods and waterways to protect against trespassing and poaching. Other programs enacted in recent years to conserve energy, to recycle paper, glass, and plastic, and to adapt and reuse buildings and facilities on the property have enabled Brookgreen Gardens to make the most of the “green” in its name. President Bob Jewell emphasizes the effort: “Everyone at Brookgreen sees themselves as stewards of this special place. Consequently, our commitment to our conservation strategies has not wavered; it remains a core value of our organization.” With its long history of preservation well established, Brookgreen Gardens is positioned to maintain its important living heritage and to protect its land and resources for future generations. Bob Jewell adds: “That is our pledge; it is what we have done and will continue to do.” New Look for the Welcome Center Plaza Late winter and early spring, we were busy with the latest improvement to the gardens, the new Welcome Center Plaza. The new Plaza is situated between the Tarbox Welcome Center and Keepsakes, the Brookgreen Shop. It has transformed what was once a simple grass lawn to a multi-function area with an oval lawn, a grand terraced walkway, and raised planters that contain ornamental plantings such as Japanese Maple trees, evergreen shrubs, and seasonal annual plantings. The planter boxes have seat walls and surround a reflecting pool that showcases Fillies Playing by Anna Hyatt Huntington, one of Brookgreen’s most important and recent sculpture acquisitions. “The new Welcome Center Plaza came about through a combination of events,” said Bob Jewell, President and CEO. “The previous space was not a true representation of Brookgreen Gardens with no definition or sense of anticipation of the beauty that was just beyond the walk.” Jewell continued, “We wanted to enhance the horticulture presence and to incorporate sculpture when visitors first arrived at the Welcome Center. When we received the gift of Fillies Playing all the stars seemed to align and a plan for the Welcome Center Plaza was born.” The new look sets the stage for what guests will continue to see throughout the gardens - the beauty, the sense of style, and the connection between art and nature. Fillies Playing (bronze) is prominently displayed in the center of the Welcome Center Plaza and echoes two other equestrian pieces by Mrs. Huntington, the Fighting Stallions (aluminum) at the entrance and Youth Taming the Wild (limestone) along the drive to the Welcome Center. We would like to express our appreciation to the Friends of Brookgreen Gardens who generously supported the project with the proceeds from their 2011-2012 fund raising efforts. We would like to thank Greg Duckworth with Environmental Concepts for his conceptual ideas of how to incorporate the new Plaza so that it blends naturally with the existing structures and Starwood Landscaping for help in implementing the design. Finally, we would like to acknowledge our horticulture, sculpture, and facilities staffs who completed the project and made sure this highly visible area appropriately represents all that makes Brookgreen Gardens ever changing and simply amazing. BROOKGREEN GARDENS 2012 ANNUAL REPORT I 2012 Annual Report From the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and the President & CEO t is with a deep sense of accomplishment that we report, even in economically challenging times, Brookgreen Gardens remains financially sound and through prudent management of our resources we have continued to make significant advances in every aspect of our mission. In the Horticulture Department, the new Poetry Garden was established with beautiful plantings and poetry plaques. Other major renovations occurred through out the gardens, including the implementation of a new turf management program, acquisitions of trees and shrubs, and improvements to the irrigation systems. The plant records database was upgraded with the purchase of new software, and we expanded our horticulture educational outreach with a new monthly program that is open to the public. In the Lowcountry Zoo, we expanded the zoo kitchen to provide more space for food preparation and storage and added a walk-in cooler, a washer and dryer, a dishwasher, and more cabinet space. The expansion also added more space for the animals that are used in educational programs and with that expansion we have almost completed the first of the three phases of our Zoo Master Plan. We established an Association of Aquariums and Zoos’ (AZA) ‘Frogwatch USA’ chapter for a national citizen science project and trained 90 volunteers to recognize native frog calls and document the calls. In 2012, we added 42 artworks to our incomparable sculpture collection, including sculptures by Grainger McKoy (gift of the Jane P. Slick Revocable Trust), Elliot Offner (gift of the Estate of Rosemary O’Connell Offner), Doug Hyde (gift of Peter M. and Carroll B. Shannon), Hap Hagood (gift of the sculptor), and Christopher Smith (gift of Stephen Robin). We installed four successful exhibits in the Rainey Sculpture Pavilion and commissioned Sergey Eylanbekov to design the 40th annual Brookgreen Medal, Diana and the Garden. Through the generous support of, John Rainey, the Anne Edens Rainey Master Sculptor Program hosted two sculptors-in-residence – Amy Kann and Gwen Marcus and we had 58 students from all across the country who participated in sculpture workshops. Thanks to a grant from the American Art Renewal Fund of the Henry Luce Foundation, we renovated an existing building to create the new Sculpture Library and Archives facility. The Creative Education Department hosted 6,545 students in addition to teachers and chaperones in curriculum-based field trips and special events such as “Gullah Gullah Days,” a third-grade social studies program sponsored by The Falk-Griffin Foundation. The Children’s Discovery Room welcomed 13,102 visitors. “Etched In The Eyes: The Spirit of a People Called Gullah Geechee” pictorial photography exhibit by David Herman, had 3,321 visitors. In fulfillment of funding by John and Anne Rainey, the Creative Education Department coordinated the mailing of “Healin fa de Soul” CD sets to public libraries in South Carolina and presidential and military libraries.

More than 50 years ago in Hawthorne, California, three brothers (Brian, Carl, and Dennis Wilson), a cousin (Mike Love), and a high school classmate (Al Jardine) started a band that became the most popular surf band in the nation. From the outset, their now-classic songs epitomized the spirit of the California lifestyle – surfing, cars, and bikini-clad women. At Brookgreen, “Surfin' USA” tribute concert will feature Dustin Brayley, Ryan Guerra, Ryan Appleby, and an amazing band led by Eric Fotre Leach. You may purchase tickets online or at the Admission Plaza, the Wall Lowcountry Center, or by calling (843) 235-6016. All seats will be under the performance tent. Performances begin at 7:30 p.m. and last approximately two hours. Seating is limited, and tickets are $25 for members and $30 for guests.
