Your Support is Reimagining Charleston’s Public Spaces
Your Role in Keeping Charleston’s Parks Growing
From our busy iconic parks to hidden neighborhood gems, your donation has a lasting impact on how Charleston thrives. Thanks to you, we are working to transform Charleston’s parks and green spaces into even more thriving, welcoming spaces.
In 2024, the Conservancy tackled many park renovations. Some of the highlights include:
- Seasonal displays at Rose Pavilion, Marion Square, Hazel Parker and Tiedemann Nature Center have brought vibrant color making these beloved parks even more inviting year-round.
- The revitalization of Vangie Rainsford Park included clearing out overgrown plants and the addition of shade-loving annuals and perennials.
- Mitigating flood waters with the installation of bioswales at Tiedemann Park & Nature Center.
- Supporting the urban eco-corridor with the installation of a pollinator habitat at Corrine Jones Park & Community Garden.
- The revitalization of Wragg Square brought new life to this historic park, with reimagined gardens and restored pathways, creating a welcoming space for community events.
- Expanding our donation programs through the installation of the Mulberry Park Food Forest & the cut flower garden at Magnolia Community Garden.
We’re Not Stopping
In 2025, we’re taking on even bigger projects like the revitalization of 3 acres of gardens at Colonial Lake, which is underway and will be completed next year. Allan Park will be getting a refresh and we are thrilled to expand our urban garden program to Shaw Community Center with the installation of fruit trees and teaching vegetable beds.
With 90% of the Conservancy’s annual funding relying on the generosity of donors like you – your continued support is critical to allowing these projects to come to fruition. Consider a donation today to help keep Charleston’s parks blooming.
