In 2015, we received 501-C(3) tax-exempt status as an organization whose goal is to promote the preservation, curation, and further development of Grout Hill Gardens for the purpose of providing the public an opportunity to enjoy and learn from visiting and interacting with the decades-old plantings. Our goal is to educate the public as to what can be successfully grown in our area and how to grow it well. To those ends, we have assembled a board of directors of professionals with a broad spectrum of skills and expertise in the fields of horticulture, management, and law to assist and advise on the development of the gardens. We are pleased to have the following individuals on our board of directors:
