ANNUAL REPORT 2014

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD

Dear friends of Bartram’s Garden,

For almost 300 years, Bartram’s Garden has graced the banks of the Hidden River, with its lush landscape providing sustenance and pleasure to those who have lived here and those who have passed through. From John Bartram’s time until today, this diverse ecosystem has connected people to the land and the water, inspiring generations of visitors to learn and explore. Throughout its history, Bartram’s Garden has been sus¬tained by thoughtful, devoted stewards, including visitors, members, and generous partners and supporters. As we embark on this period of transformation, celebrating our heritage while also building new connections to the city around us, we are delighted to see so many people joining us to share the Bartram spirit in so many ways, building upon John Bartram’s ideals of innovation, curiosity, and stewardship.

It has been a privilege to be associated with this remarkable garden, and to know that so many others are committed to our future. Together we are ensuring that John Bartram’s garden continues to grow.

Thank you for your commitment to the Bartram legacy and for your investment in our exciting future!

Sincerely,

Elizabeth Bressi-Stoppe, President of the Board

Dear friends of Bartram’s Garden,

“Transformation” has been our buzzword this year, as we prepare for many changes, both big and small, in our legendary landscape. The dedication of our partners, members, volunteers, Board of Directors, and staff is evident in the following pages. We are honored to share here an update on our ongoing work.

Even amidst these plans for change, it is good to remember that much of our work is simply a continuation of that which came before. I believe that John Bartram would be delighted by the ways in which his legacy shapes our mission today and by the ways in which his garden has grown.

He was a self-taught Quaker farmer respected by his generation’s greatest scientific minds, and today his home welcomes 9,000 students each year for hands-on lessons in science, nature, and healthy living. He brought his children and grandchildren into the family business, and we are preparing to break ground on our first garden restoration in nearly a century, recreating the specimen garden established by his granddaughter Ann Bartram Carr.

John Bartram sought connections and ideas everywhere he went, and he roamed from Florida to Nova Scotia in his quest for knowledge. We are also growing beyond our borders, with new access to the river, a broader network in our community, and the forthcoming Bartram’s Mile trail.

John Bartram knew that there was always something more to learn and something more to nurture—that is as true for us today as it was for him when he began his botanical study in the eighteenth century. What discoveries will we make in this extraordinary landscape? And what will we contribute?

I look forward to another year of transformation, discovery, and creativity. Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Maitreyi Roy, Executive Director

LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

A three-year strategic plan guides the John Bartram Association’s work through 2016. We are now at the mid-point of that plan, focusing on five major goals:

I. PRESERVE OUR HISTORY. Preserve, restore, and exhibit Bartram’s Garden living and historic collections, botanic treasures, historic structures, and the Bartram Archives;

II. SHARE OUR GREEN SPACES. Serve as a model for environmentally responsible practices, act in partnership for revitalization of the Schuylkill Riverfront, and work with the City to implement the goals of the Open Space Plan 2028 to make Philadelphia a vibrant urban green city;

III. PROVIDE ENRICHING EXPERIENCES. Provide programs that engage diverse audiences and foster care of the natural world through full, creative use of the Garden’s resources;

IV. TELL OUR STORY. Increase visitation and achieve recognition as the preeminent American historic garden and a world-class cultural, heritage, and urban green space destination; and

V. SUSTAIN OUR FUTURE. Assure the future of Bartram’s Garden through effective fund development, volunteer engagement, and exemplary governance and management of its assets.

As we move through this period of changes and transition, these goals guide our annual work and inform our efforts to craft the next strategic plan.

INTRODUCTION

OUR MISSION

Protect and enhance the landmark Bartram’s Garden

and House, advance the Bartram legacy of discovery, gardening and art, and inspire audiences of all ages to care

for the natural world.

Work has begun on the restoration of the Carr Garden, located to the west of the historic house. The Carr Garden was established as an exhibition garden by John Bartram’s granddaughter Ann Bartram Carr and her husband, Colonel Robert Carr, in the early nineteenth century. It was the first public green space at Bartram’s Garden, showcasing fashionable exotics from Asia and Ann Bartram Carr’s own hybrid dahlias and camellias. The two-phase restoration project is made possible by a $1 million state RACP grant, generously matched by Mrs. Dorrance Hamilton, The McLeanContributionship, and other thoughtful donors.

After a competitive bid process in early 2014, LRSLA Studio was selected to manage the garden restoration. In consultation with the staff and Board of the John Bartram Association, LRSLA designed the restored garden to reflect both its nineteenth-century roots and twenty-first-century potential. Heir-loom roses and other period plants are being cultivated for planting in 2015, and new interpretive materials are being designed to introduce visitors to the Carr family legacy and to the role of exotic plants within American gardens. Crucial preservation work on the National Historic Landmark Bartram House is also being planned, including a new roof, new energy-efficient climate control systems, and improved conditions for our historic collections. Frens and Frens Restoration Architects, who have previously worked on other

smaller-scale restoration projects at the Garden, were contracted to design the work on the house. Construction will be concurrent with the garden restoration in 2015, and the house will be closed to tours and visitors during the 2015 season.

The restored house and garden will offer new ways to share and interpret the Bartram story. New tours and exhibitions are being designed to showcase the restoration and other interpretations of “transformation” in a historic garden and public green space.

The Bartram story continues to reverberate beyond our borders, with lectures, exhibitions, and art centered on Bartram’s Garden and the Bartram family. Notable events in 2014 included Bartram’s Boxes Remix, an exhibition of 32 new pieces of Bartram-inspired wooden art and sculpture held in partnership with the Center for Art in Wood, and the American Society of Botanical Artists exhibit “Following in the Bartrams’ Footsteps,” which ran from August 30 to November 2 at the North Carolina Botanical Garden. Closer to home, Bartram’s Garden was featured in the Mother’s Day edition of Penn’s Place, a comic by Pulitzer-winning local cartoonist Signe Wilkinson.

PRESERVING OUR HISTORY

The transformation of a National Historic Landmark

house and garden.

The Bartram ideals of discovery and connection to nature drive new approaches to all aspects of our 45 acres, with a special focus recently on the riverfront and the community farm.

Bartram’s Garden, with its natural riverfront and the only tidal wetlands on the Lower Schuylkill, offers the only safe river access in Southwest Philadelphia. Our neighbors are eager to reconnect with the river and new programs are reaching audiences who enjoy fishing, boating, and birding.

The community River Fest was held on June 21 and attracted more than 1,500 visitors for free ferryboat rides, kayaking, and a petting zoo. The annual Harvest Fest, held on October 19, welcomed more than 700

visitors to the Community Farm and Food Resource Center (CFFRC) for a cel-ebration. Harvest Fest also hosted the Wilderness Inquiry’s Canoemobile, which brought a fleet of 24-foot canoes for the day and allowed even boating novices to enjoy the river.

Harvest Fest celebrated the accomplishments of the CFFRC at Bartram’s Garden. Now in its fourth year, the CFFRC boasts a thriving urban agriculture program: a 2-acre crop farm, a 2,500-square-foot greenhouse, a 140-tree or-chard, and 60 community garden beds. A team of 20 local high school students manage the farm and a weekly farmstand, serving as ambassadors for healthy eating. The CFFRC is maintained in partnership with the University of Pennsylvania’s Agatston Urban Nutrition Initiative, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, and the City of Philadelphia. The CFFRC was awarded a 2014 Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence.

Construction begins in 2015 on the Bartram’s Mile Trail, an extension of the multi-use recreational Schuylkill River Trail. Bartram’s Mile will link the existing trail through our reclaimed meadow to new pathways around the historic garden and the Community Farm and Food Resource Center. The trail will culminate in a new riverfront recreation plaza on 56th Street at the southern tip of the site.

The existing Schuylkill River Trail has proved attractive for recreationalists and families, with some segments bringing up to 40,000 visitors each week. As we look towards a new pedestrian bridge connecting the Center City trails with Bartram’s Mile, we are preparing for the many recreational visitors who will arrive via the trail through increased visitor amenities and wayfinding.

SHARING OUR GREEN SPACES

Revitalized programs for new audiences

PROVIDING ENRICHING EXPERIENCES

It has been a busy year at the Garden, with new initiatives reaching many audiences discovering us for the first time. Our focus on education, creativity, and discovery drives much of our programming, ranging from formal class visits to hands-on workshops to vibrant exhibits and events. The environmental education programs at Bartram’sGarden continue to be a well-respected resourcewithin the Philadelphia community. More than 130 schools brought their pre-K, elementary, and middle schoolstudents to the Garden this year for free or subsidized classes on botany, growing food, watersheds and the Schuylkill River, and natural life cycles. Each two-hourlesson conformed to state academic standards andincluded a tour of the National Historic Landmark Bartram House and Garden. Our mission to share the transformative power of nature and the rising demand for outdoor education have driven the expansion of our programs to reach additional audiences and to look beyond the confines of the school day. New programs bring the Bartram legacy beyond the classroom: a new summer camp program, a collaboration with the Free Library of Philadelphia that offers free nature-themed outdoor storytime for toddlers and caregivers and a new partnership with The Woodland Academy that supports an afterschool program for underserved children and youth from Southwest Philadelphia. As our connections to our community grow, so do opportunities for additional outreach and programming. Activities and events focused on lifelong learning—including cooking demonstrations, seasonal ice cream and cider tastings, fishing lessons, and Grow It Yourself farming workshops—draw visitors from Southwest and West Philadelphia. The riverfront and the CFFRC offer exciting new resources for discovery-based learning, with support

from partners like Patriot Harbor Lines and the Urban Nutrition Initiative. Regular volunteer days welcome dozens of volunteers for monthly river clean-ups, seed cleaning, and stewardship.

Cultural and environmental events continue to draw large audiences from throughout the Philadelphia area. The spring saw a wide range of partnerships: everything from live readings of Native Plants: A Performance of Marianne Moore and William Carlos Williams Poetry, supported by the Rosenbach Museum and Library, to the Birding Smackdown! bird count contest with The Woodlands.Specialized workshops on growing roses, pruning fruit trees, identifying wild birds, and creating botanical illustrations welcomed dozens of participants, while public events like the Philly Home Grown Music Festival, Philly Stake dinners, and the seasonal plant sales saw Bartram’s Garden buzzing with visitors.

The Center for Art in Wood unveiled Bartram Boxes Remix, a juried exhibit four years in the making that featured 32 projects from 40 international artists, who created works of art from wood felled at the Garden during a 2010 storm.

The Bartram legacy shapes today’s students and artists.

TELLING OUR STORY

As we prepare for the many new visitors who will arrive at the Garden via the new Bartram’s Mile trail, we have undertaken a comprehensive rebranding in order to better communicate our mission and programming. After a competitive bid process, and with support from the William Penn Foundation, SteegeThomson Communications was engaged in late 2013. The firm worked closely with Board, staff, visitors, and volunteers at Bartram’s Garden to identify the site’s defining traits and most beloved qualities.

The Garden’s new logo and brand identity were unveiled in early 2014. The new brand includes updated graphic materials—including a new color scheme, new signage, and new stationery—along with new or updated tools and merchandise, including a new visitors’ map and new branded apparel. A new website is in development and will be implemented before the Garden re-opens for the 2015 season. The new imagery has

been very well-received, with visitorspraising the vibrant color scheme andinviting graphics.

In addition to the new style, we have launched a range of new marketing tools. Our online presence continues to drive visibility, especially creative use of new online tools, including everything from an Instagram-based photography contest to Pinterest round-ups of gardening ideas, William Bartram’s art, and weddings at the Garden.

NEW HISTORIC FEATURES In 2014, several exciting new pieces became part of the permanent collections:

1870 WEDDING DRESSDonated by Alice Niewoehner, this dress was worn at the wedding of William Eastwick and Emma Warfield Thomas, who lived in the Bartram House for a while.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN LETTERA friendly note dated January 9, 1769, with Franklin emphasizing his concern for Bartram’s health during his continued plant-hunting travels and his hope that the naturalist might soon write a natural history of theAmerican continent. Bartram used the back to draft a list of seeds to send abroad. Donated by The Barra Foundation.

BARTRAM CLOCKDonated by Evelyn Bartram, this tall case clock dates to 1760–1790 and has been in the Bartram family for generations from John Bartram’s youngest son, Benjamin.

A fresh look for a historic treasure.

With so many changes coming to the Garden’s landscape, the John Bartram Association’s Board of Directors has been laying foundations to ensure the organization’s continued growth and success. Much of this work represents the patient, steady dedication that will be familiar to gardeners everywhere, with deliberate progress leading to vibrant growth.

Elizabeth Bressi-Stoppe, who was named president on an interim basis in early 2013, was formally elected to a 3-year term in late 2013. As we prepare to draft the next strategic plan, the Board has embarked on its own work of self-assessment and reorganization, with new committee structures, increased accountability, and the first-ever Board self-assessment.

The Board has also worked to strengthen the staff in order to support new programming and growth. Increased capacity in community outreach, education, and development allow for the John Bartram Association to better leverage our strategic plan and the opportunities around us.

In addition, stronger relationships with our community ensure greater support for our mission. These partnerships take many forms. A multi-year commitment from the William Penn Foundation provides financial and institutional support for expanded community outreach, staffing, and program development. Our relationship with program partners like Patriot Harbor Lines, Outward Bound, PHS, and UNI allows us to continue reaching beyond our borders in order to share the Bartram legacy with a wider audience. Finally, community stakeholders like Beneficial Bank and PNC Bank invest both time and treasure in Bartram’s Garden, with more than 150 corporate volunteers visiting in 2014.

SUSTAINING OUR FUTURE

A growing network of stewards and supporters.
