As an organization, we are heartbroken over the acts of senseless violence, injustice and racism which have been committed and allowed to persist for far too long.

Following the events of August 2017, an important element of Botanical Garden of the Piedmont’s mission was made clear – to be a source of inclusion and healing. As recent events have shown, it is a purpose that continues to be relevant and necessary.

Botanical Garden of the Piedmont is an ally to communities of color. We stand in solidarity with you and pledge to be a part of the solution and a voice against injustice.
