the year in review

Dear Friends, For many, the year 2010 will be remembered as the “Year after Chihuly.” As such, it was the year Garden operations returned to normal levels and we settled back into our more typical rhythms of attendance and operations. Still, it was a year of great progress and success.

There were three major accomplishments in 2010 of which we can all be extremely proud:

• TheGardenwasgrantedreaccreditationbytheAmericanAssociationofMuseumsinJune2010. This outcome followed several years of intensive preparation by all board and staff members, and represents the highest honor a museum can receive from its peers. The Garden was first accredited in 1983, reaccredited in 1999, and again in 2010. Currently, there are 779 accredited museums in the nation and, of these, only 24 are gardens. Accreditation certifies that the Garden demonstrates best practices across all platforms of its operation, including its four key mission areas of education, research, exhibition and conservation of desert plants.

• TheGarden’sboardandstaffcompletedthefirstphaseofstrategicplanningfortheperiod2012 to 2017. After consultation with all Garden departments, volunteer groups, and board committees, a framework for the 5-year period starting in 2012 was created and adopted by the board. Garden members were invited to join in the planning process using an online survey in December 2010, with more than 1,000 member households participating. The plan, now being finalized,isambitiousandcallsforexpandingexcellenceinallareasoftheGarden’soperation.We look forward to sharing the plan with you in future Garden publications.

As the following report from Garden Treasurer Steve Tufts details, 2010 was a financially successfulyear.Memberships,admissions,andtheendowmentperformedwellduringthe“yearafter Chihuly,” and the Garden continues to be financially healthy.

We express our gratitude to all of the 903 volunteers who in 2010 collectively logged more than 77,000hoursofserviceinsupportoftheGarden’smission.TheGardencouldnotflourishwithoutyou, and we are so very fortunate to benefit from your personal commitment to our mission.

Fiscal year 2010 is probably best described as a year when the Garden was catching its collective breath from the previous record-breaking year coupled with a struggling yet recovering economy. While many people were going “back to basics,” they were also going “back to the Garden.” In both good and challenging economic times, the Garden’s beauty, serenity, activities, and life continues to draw members and guests from around the world. Despite a challenging economic year, the Garden continues to maintain a healthy balance sheet. Below are some of the financial highlights for the year:

• Totalrevenuedeclined30%from$16.2millionto$11.4millioninthis“yearafterChihuly.”

• RevenuefromAdmissionstotheGardendeclined60%from$6.2millionto$2.5million.While this is down substantially from the record-breaking previous year, it does represent the second best year ever. Excluding the record-breaking fiscal year of 2009, attendance of approximately367,000visitorsrepresentsthethirdbestattendanceoverthepast10years.

• Membershiprevenuewasofflessthan2%to$1.9million.Thisreflectsthestrongvaluepeople receive from their membership to the Garden.

Consolidated Statement Of Financial Activities For the year ending September 30, 2010

(with comparative totals for the year ended September 30, 2009) (Before Depreciation)

The Statement of Activities above reports the results of Garden Operations excluding the effect of depreciation expense. Depreciation refers to the systematic allocation of the cost of long-lived assets, including buildings, furniture, fixtures, and equipment to the periods that benefit from their use. Recording depreciation has no effectontheliquidityorcashflowoftheGarden.Itreflectsanestimateoftheusingupoftheeconomicvalueoftangibleassets.InthefinancialstatementsitreducestheChangeinNetAssets(and,therefore,TotalNetAssets)andthecarryingbasisofPropertyandEquipment.

The Garden brings the moments of tranquility and inspirational beauty that is part of the Sonoran Desert. In addition, our family knows the Garden is active in scientific research that is helping preserve open lands and our beautiful deserts. This gives us all great satisfaction from our support for the Garden.
