IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Park Renovations program: The Park Renovations program is aimed at restoring, rejuvenating, and reinventing community parks and green spaces by replacing outdated equipment, adding significant horticultural features, and redesigning existing parks for optimal use. In 2015, the Conservancy broke ground on its largest project to date: the complete renovation of Colonial Lake. The Conservancy also completed renovations of Theodora Park and the King Street gardens of Marion Square, as well as the first phases of projects at McMahon Playground and Medway Community Garden.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Community Gardens and Events: The Conservancy is a significant local resource for gardening education, particularly regional and Lowcountry-based gardening practices. Through the Community Garden Program, the Conservancy maintains three community gardens and provides opportunities for anyone to lease garden plots, learn to garden naturally, provide fresh food for local food banks, and advance knowledge of the environment and local community. In 2015, the Conservancy donated 2,039 pounds of produce to local food pantries. The Conservancy also puts on park-related community events throughout the year.
