Sara’s Garden
Sara Goosby, Sara’s Garden’s Namesake
Garden Description: An intimate, perennial garden located just above the Dedekam Ornamental Terrace Garden that is approached by a long, vine-covered pergola walkway. The pergola is an eye catching architectural feature and focal point in the garden and remains a special naming opportunity. The garden and pergola walkway are enveloped by flowering shrubs and perennial plantings. Sara’s Garden is sure to be one of the Humboldt Botanical Garden’s most charming and popular gardens.
Phase 1 Project Description: This garden has substantial architectural and hardscape elements. Fundraising is ongoing and monies donated may specifically go to this project upon request. In kind donations including framing, pouring and forming concrete retaining/seating wall; metal framework for pergola and substantial wooden posts to support the pergola; skilled carpentry, irrigation systems, and operating equipment labor, earth moving site work, irrigation system components and plans, soil analysis and amendment, plants, mulch, etc. are welcome. A future operations budget for maintaining this labor intensive, perennial garden will also be evaluated and included in the overall budget for building the project.
