In the heart of our nation’s capital, the Fund assisted the Rosedale Conservancy and the Potomac Conservancy in preserving one of Washington’s most historic properties, which includes 18th century falling gardens. The partners—supported by more than 100 local families—purchased the Rosedale lawns, which have long served as an informal “village green” for the Cleveland Park neighborhood. The project received the city’s Excellence in Historic Preservation Award for outstanding community involvement.
