Grand Opening weekend July 19–21.
bers led by a trumpeter walked down
to the Kearny’s Gap Bridge where the
official ribbon cutting took place. Santa
Fe Symphony Brass performed, NDI
dancers filled the bridge and 300 butterflies were released into the Garden
by attendees.
Our Friday night gala was sold-out
weeks before the event, and not even a
torrential rain could put a damper on the
event. Nacha Mendez, followed by Opera
Apprentices and violinist Ezra Shcolnik
performed for us before and after a
magical tour of the Garden.
Sunday, our free Community Day, saw
over 2,200 visitors from children to
seniors with scores of families representing all segments of the community.
It was truly a community day for all.
Entertainment on Saturday and Sunday
included musicians, stilt walkers, dancers, and children’s hands-on activities.

Grand Opening Weekend,
July 19–21, was indeed
grand. With the extraordinary help of Signature
Weekend Sponsor Thornburg Investment
Management and Gala Sponsor V&R
Interiors, it was a stupendous weekend.
Saturday marked our official opening
with SFBG members and their families. The master of ceremonies, Simon
Brackley, President & CEO of the Santa
Fe Chamber of Commerce, welcomed
the crowd. Larry Littlebird of the Laguna/
Santo Domingo Pueblos provided a native blessing with drumming for a most
spiritual start. Panayoti Kelaidis, Senior
Curator and Director of Outreach for
the Denver Botanic Gardens, gave the
keynote address. In his words, “The new
Garden is the cathedral of chlorophyll!”
W. Gary Smith, our landscape architect,
followed Panayoti asking for a moment
of silence at the start of his remarks. In
his words, “I’d like everyone to pause for
a moment of silence and reflect on what
gratitude means to you.”

Since our opening, the Garden has seen
over 9,000 visitors, with revenues consisting of 60% general admissions and
40% new or renewing members amounting to $33,000. Through our digital capability in the admissions kiosk we can
track our visitors and the state or country they reside in. We can daily track the
roots of our progress.
A SPECIAL THANK YOU
to Jan Karafylakis and Janet Hirons,
the co-chairs of the Grand Opening
three day weekend. Their outstanding
leadership and oversight of volunteers
and details was the driving force
behind the overwhelming success of
the Grand Opening. Their committee
and dozens of volunteers met regularly
for nearly a year brainstorming,
planning and organizing for the big
event. We are enormously grateful
and awed by their commitment.

La Rambla Rumbles
for Our Opening Night Gala
La Rambla is an important tool of storm
water management, erosion prevention
and encourages groundwater recharge.
Summer monsoons and large storm
events can result in flash floods and
devastating erosion to the landscape
and arroyos. Just in time for the Gala,
the design was put to the test and
successfully proved to harvest the
rainwater and slow the flow.
The system was designed by The
RainCatcher Inc. and Dryland Solutions
Inc. both of Santa Fe. It includes a
long rock-lined drainage swale that
begins uphill of the Meadow, continuing through drain pipes beneath the
Central Walkway, feeding into a series
of Zuni Bowls stepping down the arroyo bank. Its design encourages water
to slow down and pool at many stages
along this path, ultimately giving it time
to seep into the soil.
Step pools in the upper part slow the
flow of water as it approaches the
ponding area called Veronica Pool
sculpted into the Meadow Garden. The
entire length of the drainage system has
been seeded with sheep fescue, and will
eventually soften the appearance of the
rockwork. Over time these structures
may entirely disappear into the fully
mature garden, but will continue to
function as designed.
A system like this can be modified and
designed for a property of any size.
La Ramba remains an available
naming opportunity – $100,000
REESE BAKER, THE RAINCATCHER INC.
La Rambla in Spanish means ravine or a
water-course that carries off the water
of heavy rains. The Garden’s Rambla is
a beautiful, meandering stone creek bed
designed to slow the flow of rainwater
and retain it for nourishing plants and
trees in the Orchard Gardens.
La Rambla slows the flow of rainwater.

entire system as it performed

Why
Botanical Gardens
are Important
Botanical Gardens have had a changing role
throughout history, beginning as medicinal gardens for the study and cultivation of plants with
healing properties and going through many phases
including of course as pleasure gardens. But the
fact that their collections are scientific means they
are continually adapting and serving the needs of their societies in evolving ways as new
challenges face those societies.
Botanical Gardens are key players in both the conservation of plants and in the education
of the people who come to see them. Under the direction of Education Director Mollie
Parsons, SFBG will offer science curriculum to middle school students for the second season at the Leonora Curtin Wetland Preserve. In addition, we are launching new education
programs at the Museum Hill Garden for elementary school students. Our goal of reaching more than 1,000 students per year will be realized in the coming year.

in the Museum Hill Garden
DON NOFTE
FACILITY RENTAL AVAILABLE
SFBG honors our graduating classes of Museum Hill
docents. Volunteers complete a multi-session comprehensive training learning history, plant identification,
guiding skills and more. A dedicated team of enthusiastic volunteers have committed to ongoing weekly
shifts in the Admissions Kiosk.
Volunteers are the first face in the Garden. They are
trained to meet and greet visitors, sell admissions and
memberships and lead tours. Volunteers are critical to
our success. Training is offered both in the classroom
and on-site in the Garden. Each session includes
lectures, garden walks and digital presentations, all
taught by our Teaching Team made up of SFBG senior
docents, educators, staff and resource professionals.
Visit the Volunteer page of our website for training
dates or email [email protected] to
become a docent now. Stay tuned for information on
our new “fast track” training program.

Volunteers in the Garden are identified by their orange bandanas.
VOLUNTEER GARDENERS
Training is encouraged but not required for volunteer
gardeners, too. If getting your hands dirty, planting,
weeding and maintaining the garden beds sounds like
fun, then being a gardener is for you. Gardeners’ work
days are ongoing on Fridays 8–10:30 am and Mondays
4–6:30 pm. Please join us!
