GREENWOOD'S GOAL IS TO PRESERVE, RESTORE, AND ENHANCE ITS HISTORIC GARDENS, ARCHITECTURE AND LANDSCAPE FOR THE EDUCATION AND ENJOYMENT OF THE PUBLIC. SINCE 2013, THOUSANDS OF VISITORS HAVE COME THROUGH OUR GATES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SITE'S UNIQUE FEATURES AND TO LEARN ABOUT THE TWO FAMILIES THAT MADE AN IMPACT ON THE SITE OVER THE COURSE OF A CENTURY. AFTER CLOSING FOR A YEAR TO UNDERGO EXTENSIVE RENOVATIONS, WE REOPENED IN SEPTEMBER 2020 WITH A NEW RAIN GARDEN, A RENOVATED MAIN AXIS WITH WORKING FOUNTAINS, RESTORED HISTORIC VIEWS, A 50-SPACE PARKING LOT, EXTENSIVE NEW LANDSCAPING, AND INCREASED SEATING THROUGHOUT THE GARDEN. THESE HAVE GREATLY ENHANCED THE VISITOR EXPERIENCE, OFFERING A MUCH-NEEDED HAVEN IN WHICH TO REJUVENATE DURING THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC.
SINCE THE ONSET OF THE PANDEMIC, GREENWOOD HAS TWICE ALTERED ITS REGULAR PROGRAMMING TO ACCOMMODATE OUR AUDIENCES. IN 2020, WE SHIFTED IN-PERSON PROGRAMS TO ONLINE FORMATS, DOING SO THROUGH THE END OF THE FALL SEASON. IN 2021, WITH THE ABILITY TO BE OPEN FOR THE FULL SEASON AND THE INTRODUCTION OF VACCINATIONS, WE HAVE GRADUALLY ADDED BACK GROUP GARDEN TOURS ON PLANTS, HISTORY, BEEKEEPING, NATURE JOURNALING, PAINTING, PHOTOGRAPHY, TAI CHI, AND TREE IDENTIFICATION. IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING EDUCATION AND ENTERTAINMENT, THESE PROGRAMS HELP FOSTER AN APPRECIATION OF THE IMPORTANCE OF GARDEN PRESERVATION, A RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE THE TIMELESS RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PEOPLE AND NATURE.
