Victoria amazonica in the Aquatics pond, 2010
|
For the past two years, these spectacular giants have been absent from our Aquatics gallery. We must replace a broken boiler before we can heat the pond enough to grow them again.
#GivingTuesday is a global campaign to encourage charitable giving around the holidays.
"We have a day for giving thanks. We have two days [Black Friday and Cyber Monday] for getting deals. Now, we have #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to giving back. On Tuesday, December 2, 2014,charities, families, businesses, community centers, and students around the world will come together for one common purpose: to celebrate generosity and to give." (from the givingtuesday.org website)
Please consider donating to this important project on or before Tuesday, December 2nd. The Conservatory needs YOUR help to thrive. Every time you visit and see the stunning Victoria amazonica floating in Aquatics, you'll know you helped make it happen!
