updated interiors, replaced shutters and banisters and the construction
of a new pavilion, Sutton said.
In addition to the needed repairs, the renovation will allow the
center to accommodate more events with a larger kitchen and
remodeled bathrooms, Young said.
“The way we support ourselves is being a site rental for events,
and we have a big business in weddings,” she said.
The center provides programs and lecture series on a monthly
basis, all open to the public, Young said. The gardens on the
property are dedicated to promoting pollinators — birds, bats, bees,
butterflies, beetles and other small animals that pollinate plants.
“Most of our programs center on conservation, beautification and
sustainability,” she said.
The campaign deadline for donations is September 1. Young said
the center will close for three months, starting January 1, 2023, to
begin the repairs — just in time to open for spring.
“Of course, we’ll take donations any time,” she said. “We are
going to try to get started on the outdoor work this summer.”
The hope is the center will be able to continue for another 50
years serving the horticultural, educational and event needs of the
community, Davenport said.
“It’s a historical treasure for the community... we want to preserve
it for the future and make it structurally sound and update it for
today’s standards,” she said.
Donors can make checks payable to the Cobb Community Foundation,
with Marietta Garden Center Fund on the memo line, and mail
to 1100 Circle 75 Pkwy, Suite 1000, Atlanta, GA 30339. Donations
made by debit or credit card can be completed at bit.ly/MariettaEducationGardenCenter.
The center is also accepting transfers of
stock and there are still some endowments available to name new
additions of the center. Young said whatever their neighbors choose
to donate, there’s no gift too large or too small.
“We’d just like to get the whole community involved and we’d
like to meet this goal,” she said.
