Ganny's Garden

Dedicated to Barbara Bush on the River Green, September 29, 2011

The Kennebunkport Conservation Trust is pleased to announce the creation of “Ganny’s Garden” on the River Green in Kennebunkport, named in honor of Barbara Pierce Bush.  Funded through an outreach mailing to friends, family and admirers, the garden will add great beauty to the community.  A wonderful surprise dedication event took place in September 2011 to celebrate the completion of the garden’s infrastructure.  Its planting will be completed in the spring. 

Contributions are still being accepted for the garden’s completion and endowment and can be made on the Trust’s website. 

All donations made on this page will directly support Ganny's Garden.  You can make a donation in any amount or select a sponsorship amount from the list below.  Thanks to all who worked so hard to make this lovely space and celebration possible!
