The Garden Conservancy

The Garden Conservancy is an American nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving exceptional gardens and landscapes.

Founded in 1989 by Frank Cabot, the Conservancy has since helped a number of American gardens to develop preservation strategies, organizational structures, and funding plans. In some cases, the Conservancy takes the lead in transitioning the garden to a sustainable, nonprofit status. Headquartered in Cold Spring, New York, the Conservancy's current president is Antonia F. Adezio and the director of preservation is William Noble of Norwich, Vermont. Recent projects include:

• Alcatraz Island, San Francisco, California
