Through a gift of $175,000, the Friends of the Garden are contributing to the construction of a permanent shelter to ensure the well-being of participants in the Youth Garden and Botanical Garden’s day camp.

Through this substantial donation to the Garden's education and cultural animation department, the Friends recognize the youth program staff’s extraordinary dedication and commitment to excellence as well as the incredible energy the team has invested for years to ensure these educational programs are both on-going and exceptional.

We would like to express our thanks to Mr. Marcel Dupré, whose commitment to the Garden and generous financial contribution inspired this ambitious project.
