About 2023 Annual Appeal
Please consider continuing your support with a charitable contribution to the West Virginia Botanic Garden before December 31, 2022. Your tax-deductible gift is vital to creating learning experiences, inspiring families, and improving the well-being of the community through the natural environment and culturally enriching experiences.
At the WVBG, we’ve always believed that the visitor experience is at the heart of our mission, and this year we have made great strides in enhancing that experience. The Garden has been enriched with new sculptures, captivating features, lush plantings, and trail improvements. Over the next several months, even more dreams will be realized.
Set to open its doors next spring, the new Equitrans Midstream Visitors Center promises to transform how guests interact with the Garden, providing a dedicated space for human interaction with visitors for the first time. Paved parking and roadways will improve road conditions year-round, provide the opportunity for snow removal in the winter, and help keep the dust at bay during the summer months.
Many of these new projects have been brought to life by generous grants. However, grants primarily cover project expenses and not the ongoing maintenance and operating costs which continue to rise each year. With all the recent improvements and the need for additional staff to manage our facilities and programs, we lean heavily on the support of dedicated volunteers and compassionate donors like you to keep the Garden flourishing.
Together we have elevated the state’s flagship garden to a level of prominence that wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering support of this incredible community. Thank you for being part of the WVBG family—we hope that you will continue to support the WVBG with a charitable contribution before December 31, 2023. Here’s to a year filled with growth, beauty, and boundless possibilities!we approach the end of another incredible year at the WVBG, we can’t help but reflect on the journey we’ve taken together. Generous grant funding and your unwavering support has propelled us to new heights, and we hope you are as proud of this year’s progress as we are!
