ABOUT THE HUNGARIAN CULTURAL GARDEN:
We have one of the largest
gardens in the Federation of Gardens and the responsibility to
do what we can to preserve and renovate this priceless treasure.
Although we have started the work
of renovation, and rededicated ourselves and the Hungarian
community to it, we still have much work ahead of us to repair
the many decades of deterioration. The 70+ years of weathering
and inaction took a severe toll on our beautiful garden.
There is still much to do to
renovate the garden to its previous grandeur. We need your help
and donations to keep going on our work to eliminate the
deterioration. We started Phase I, weed and overgrowth control,
in late 2007. We completed major structural repair projects in
late 2008 and throughout 2009
In preparation for the
rededication of the
Hungarian Cultural Garden on
August 24, 2008
on the occasion of its 70th anniversary, we were able to make
significant headway in removing overgrowth and stabilizing some
of the main structural elements.
Work has continued, with renewed
emphasis on the lower garden and the dedication of the
monumental Legacy Wall in on the occassion of the 75th
anniversay in 2013.
The pathways and walks, plantings
and other elements of the garden, both upper and lower, have
characterized the work done in subsequent years, leading up to
the 80th anniversary of the Hungarian Cultural Garden in 2018. There is still much more to do in
coming years.
We have a number of fundraising
events planned over the coming months to help finance the
urgently needed work.
