Gardens for Good: Lord & Schryver Conservancy
December 2021 update
The Lord & Schryver Conservancy, in Salem, OR, is using their $5,000 grant for two on-the-ground preservation projects at neighboring gardens designed by Edith Lord and Elizabeth Schryver.
During an extensive rehabilitation at Deepwood Museum & Gardens, sixteen mature Camellia specimens were given a temporary home at Gaiety Hollow, in Salem, OR. Gardens for Good grant funds will enable the Lord & Schryver Conservancy to safely relocate the Kanjiro Camellia, Camellia sasanqua 'Kanjiro'; Pearl Maxwell Camellia, Camellia japonica 'Pearl Maxwell'; and Setsugekka Camellia, Camellia sasanqua 'Setsugekka' to their orginal home. The funds will also enable the Lord & Schryver Conservancy to preserve some of Gaiety Hollow's important hardscapes, including their historic brick pathways and garden retaining walls.
