The Garden's grand opening in September 2020 provided a major addition to Houston's cultural, educational, and scientific institutions and growing list of urban green spaces. Located a short distance from downtown, the 132-acre site is filled with horticultural displays, natural ecosystems, and walking trails. Through collections, interpretation, and education programs, the Garden provides a beautiful place for visitors to learn about plants, conservation, and nature; connects Houstonians across different cultures and ethnicities; and closes an existing gap in the world-class City's amenities for residents and tourists. See Schedule O.The Garden also participates in scientific research and the conservation of the planet's precious plant biodiversity. 6775324 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 56 0 1 43 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 26 26 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X X Jill M Barry 7137159675 8205 N Bayou Dr Houston TX 77017 Alberto P Cardenas Jr Chair 8.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Melbern G Glasscock Vice Chair 4.00 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Emily Emmett Secretary 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Annise D Parker Treasurer 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Nancy O'Connor Abendshein Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Carole Bailey Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jack Bellows Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Eads Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jessica Essalih Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Katie Grahmann Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Saundria Chase Gray Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Patton Grosvenor Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Gail Hendryx Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Phillip Holder Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lynne Hudson Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ruthie Lee-Esene Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Steven J Lindley Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Blair Richardson Loocke Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ryan Martin Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jose Rocha Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 James William Stewart Jr Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Stone Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kingslea von Helms Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bass Wallace Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joy Warren Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Watson Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sharyn Weaver Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jill M Barry President & CEO 40.00 0.00 X 228889 0 9622 Katherine Sadler Deputy Director 40.00 0.00 X 108736 0 8541 337625 0 18163 2 0 1 0 Tianyu Arts and Culture Inc 939 West North Ave Ste 750 Chicago IL 60642 Light show design & production 1219064 Strike Marketing 906 Rutland St Houston TX 77008 Marketing services 421713 Joseph Croisette 7 Cheetham Close Greendale Harare ZI Artwork consulting 232703 Adams and Davy LLC 440 Louisiana St Ste 900 Houston TX 77002 Production management 145648 Ranger Patrol Services 2818 Saw Palmetto Trail Katy TX 77493 Security 140892 8 277655 740531 539797 3130542 38258 4688525 Admission fees 712130 2643779 2643779 2643779 5910 5910 202456 0 202456 202456 202456 19860 740531 71096 -51236 -51236 215684 60122 155562 155562 7644996 3001797 0 -45326 355788 160104 124328 71356 1493364 1321739 4250 167375 20751 16701 1381 2669 198106 165891 7662 24553 132371 106539 8809 17023 9300 9300 165624 165624 34140 34140 432426 399845 5214 27367 421209 383406 30203 7600 310707 68572 133615 108520 136184 58638 38333 39213 98834 81822 6642 10370 28500 24459 4041 6592 4451 1891 250 2453822 1964858 157773 331191 83173 69865 8317 4991 Program expense 999404 999404 Building/grounds maint. 378538 363049 8274 7215 Equipment expenses 371454 336209 35245 Plants and supplies 240473 236961 2802 710 140350 12811 125580 1959 8511110 6775324 879284 856502 1382662 2427542 10080 73137 452214 210400 61684 23631 57339 77885 76854 38720273 9717450 31257224 29002823 33221203 31892272 1276808 886986 220220 147225 1497028 1034211 X 30844093 29838444 880082 1019617 31724175 30858061 33221203 31892272 -866114 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 3784474 3599509 3545741 3906650 4688525 19524899 3784474 3599509 3545741 3906650 4688525 19524899 3025228 16499671 37318 92960 127817 230246 208366 696707 20221606 8754930 0.81590 0.81820 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 150000 49 150049 1.00000 0 1 1 275028 275028 34932233 9261219 25671014 406534 256231 150303 3106478 200000 2906478 29002823 7682333 37337 37337 7644996 0 7644996 8548447 37337 37337 8511110 0 8511110 Part V, Line 4: The endowment fund, held by Houston Botanic Garden Endowment Fund, was established to secure, accept, hold, and invest funds for the benefit of the Houston Botanic Garden.
