The GCA established the Restoration Initiative in 2017 in response to the urgent needs caused by catastrophic storms, hurricanes, floods, fires, and mudslides to assist member clubs involved in public landscape restoration and conservation projects. Eleven grants, totaling $110,000, have been awarded to clubs in California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, and Texas. In 1979, The Garden Club of America’s Founders Fund Program awarded a $7,000 grant to the Rae Selling Berry Botanic Garden, Portland, Oregon, for the construction of a greenhouse enabling the development of an internationally acclaimed collection of rare and endangered alpines, primulas, rhododendrons, and native plants. The garden later became known as The Berry Botanic Garden and in 1983, the first seed bank dedicated to rare and endangered plants in the Pacific Northwest was established. In 1985, the seed bank became a founding participating institution of the Center for Plant Conservation, which today consists of forty independent botanical organizations across the United States. Since 2011, the Rae Selling Berry Seed Bank & Plant Conservation Program has been a part of Portland State University’s Department of Environmental Science and Management. https://www.gcamerica.org/ There has been a long and fruitful history between The Portland Garden Club (PGC) and the seed bank. In 1938, Rae Selling Berry created a garden at her home with special interest in rhododendrons, primulas, and alpines. In 1964, PGC successfully nominated Mrs. Berry for the GCA’s Florens DeBevoise Medal, citing her remarkable knowledge of these plants and her fearlessness and success in growing a garden of unusual species. After Mrs. Berry passed away in 1976, The Friends of the Berry Garden, with major support from PGC, purchased the five-acre estate, establishing the garden as a not-for-profit institution. The club proposed the garden for a Founders Fund grant in 1979, enabling the construction of the greenhouse that would support the development of rarely encountered special species and Northwest native plants. PGC member Happy Hieronimus and her husband were leaders in these efforts, and Happy stayed active with the garden and the seed bank until she passed away in 2014.
On August 10, a derecho storm producing extremely destructive, 100 mph straight-line winds ripped across Iowa. Within its path was the Iowa Arboretum. The storm twisted, shredded, and uprooted more than 200 of the arboretum’s trees. Responding to a Restoration Initiative grant request from the Des Moines Founders Garden Club, The Garden Club of America has awarded $10,000 to support the cost of replanting many of the trees lost to the storm. Mark Schneider, executive director of the Iowa Arboretum, was working on site when the storm hit. Stepping outside once the storm passed, he described the scene as “heartbreaking.” Of the more than 200 trees badly damaged in the storm, 133 of them would require removal. Many of these trees were valuable showcase trees that had taken forty to fifty years to grow, and were beloved by the arboretum’s members. https://www.gcamerica.org/ Large numbers of volunteers have shown up to help clean up the property, and the arboretum was able to have a partial reopening seven weeks after the storm, though the woodland trails are still closed. As with most nature centers this year, the Iowa Arboretum has been especially important as a refuge for social distancing, and with the help of the GCA’s grant, the organization will be able to move forward with replanting.

Members of The Westport Garden Club (WGC) took advantage of a beautiful fall day to participate in seed gathering at Jerry Smith Park, the largest remaining tract of remnant prairie on the Missouri side of Kansas City. The day’s bounty included seeds from American Germander, Little Bluestem, Rattlesnake Master, and more. Jerry Smith Prairie Park is a remnant of an original American landscape – tallgrass prairie. At least fifteen million acres of Missouri, covering more than a third of the state, were prairie at the time of European settlement. Bison, elk, greater prairie-chickens, and many other animals roamed across these grasslands. With abundant wildlife and up to 800 different kinds of grasses, wildflowers, and other plants, prairie is one of the most biologically rich ecosystems on Earth. https://www.gcamerica.org/ The seed collection effort is part of the WGC’s Partner for Plants (P4P) program, a collaboration that began in 2009 when the club partnered with Kansas City Wildlands (a partnership between the Missouri Department of Conservation and the Kansas City Department of Parks & Recreation) to help fund spot spraying of invasive Sericea lespedeza and eradication of bush honeysuckle. In 2016, P4P grant money helped fund a species study by Justin Thomas from The Institute of Botanical Training. More recently, grant money has been used to fund Kansas City Wildlands program coordinator and seed tech, Jacob Canyon, who along with volunteers, collects, identifies, and documents the important seeds. As of March 2020, more than 1,500 volunteer hours had been logged, and more than 159 native, local genotype species have been collected, including eight high conservation value species.

Among the GCH plants, many grown from seeds for the club’s Nine Natives booth at the fundraiser, were aquatic and green milkweed, Lanceleaf coreopsis, inland sea oats, Texas coneflower, and Winecup. The club began the Nine Natives project three years ago to provide mixed flats of Texas native plants for small urban pocket gardens to help birds, butterflies, bees, and animals survive in an urban environment. Non-native plants were removed from the park beds prior to the GCH planting day, in keeping with Memorial Park Conservancy’s long range focus to transition many of the park’s plantings to native species. Although the pandemic prevented GCH from selling their Texas plants, members were happy to donate them to benefit all park users. GCH also funds a pollinator garden in Memorial Park, planted with many of their seedlings and propagated plants. https://www.gcamerica.org/ On August 10, a derecho storm producing extremely destructive, 100 mph straight-line winds ripped across Iowa.

Since its founding in 1934, ninety Founders Fund winners and runners-up have received more than $1.5 million to save thousands of acres of land and innumerable trees, to restore historic landmarks, to establish civic plantings, and to conduct research and educational projects across the country. While the amount of the award may have changed from the original award of $700 to $30,000, the intent remains the same.

GCH members enthusiastically planted their seedlings, plus another 500 native shrubs and wetland plants, aiding the park’s transition to native species. The Bush Grove is located along the Seymour Lieberman exercise trail where the late Mrs. Bush, who was an active GCH member, often exercised with President Bush and the family dogs.
The Garden Club of Allegheny County (GCAC), is “Talking Trash” to Pittsburgh, PA organizations that have the power to solve the problems caused by the profusion of consumables that pollute land and water. In partnership with Allegheny CleanWays (AC) , eighteen members of GCAC sorted, measured, and catalogued some 6,900 pounds of trash collected from several riverfront and illegal dumpsites. Allegheny CleanWays is using the audit findings to educate the public, and to put pressure on companies, government entities, and NGO’s to make positive environmental changes. In addition, GCAC backed-up its labor with a $10,000 grant to Allegheny CleanWays. https://www.gcamerica.org/ In a parking lot on a crisp fall day, GCAC volunteers hand-sorted the contents of a dumpster and dozens of trash bags of paper, food wrapping, textiles, furniture scraps, and other discarded items—more than 11,000 separate pieces of trash—much of it rusty, sharp, or toxic. AC staff then weighed and analyzed the trash. This audit was the first of its kind in the Pittsburgh area. Garden Club of Allegheny County members will continue to be active with Trash Audit and other conservation programs in its community. As the GCAC project leader says: “As challenging as the trash audit was, now being able to talk specifics about the trash was worth the effort!”
