Private Residence, Front Yard Native Garden 2014 Garden Street
ue to our ongoing drought conditions, Dawareness of the beneficial role native landscapes can play in supporting water conservation and wildlife habitat has never been greater. With this in mind, the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden established the Native Choice Award to recognize leadership by an individual or organization in the use of California native plants in a designed landscape in 2014. This year we were especially pleased to consider a number of private residential and business garden renovations, a nature trail, and even a municipal golf course native habitat restoration project. Ultimately, we selected a beautiful, mature residential landscape that made California native plants a priority long before our current drought concerns. Congratulations to Virginia Gardner and her 2014 Garden Street residence for serving as a model for us all! A beautiful example of an eclectic design sense developing over 15 years, Virginia Gardner’s front yard garden shows off some of the best landscaping plants from California’s unique and diverse flora.

42 Santa Barbara Beautiful: The Early Years
meeting was held on September 9, 1965 at City Hall for A the purpose of establishing Santa Barbara Beautiful (SBB) as the name of a new developing organization. The founder, Mrs. Catherine Adams, was present, and the founding committee included Mahlon Read, chairman; Miss Pearl Chase (City Plans & Planting); R. Peter Krupszak, Secretary (Ge–Tempo); Stan C. Lowry (Chamber Of Commerce); and Michael Pahos, city landscape architect. At this meeting Miss Chase offered a quotation from Abraham Lincoln that says “I like to see a man proud of the place where he lives.” She said she felt a motto could help to crystallize community thinking and stimulate interest. Thus the idea for Santa Barbara Beautiful Mayor Don MacGillivray and Pearl Chase at a tree planting in 1977 Peter Wolfe took root. The first awards program was carried out by the organization designed the Santa Barbara Beautiful was formally original three in 1966. That year commercial and industrial firms were leaved plant in 1966 inaugurated at a dinner which took place days recognized, as there was a need to encourage improvement. later, on September 15, 1965 at the Miramar, The judges included architects, landscape designers, and launching the active, achievement-oriented civic organization. laymen active in garden clubs.

He noted that the program “was done without taxation, essentially a love offering from private citizens.” For many years, Santa Barbara Beautiful commemorated cheerS to your Dr. Pearl Chase’s birthday as a part of the program during the th annual awards banquets. Roses from the Mission Rose Garden 50 were used to decorate every table. AnniverSAry! The story of the life of Dr. Chase (1888–1979) is very well known, but perhaps it is not so well known that she was one of the founding members of Santa Barbara Beautiful. She was an active participating member of the Board of Directors down through the years. Her contributions were many. Both Dr. Pearl Chase and Jim Hodges dearly loved trees and all growing things, and they strongly supported the Street Tree Planting Program. Consequently, the Board of Directors of Santa Barbara Beautiful established a “Tree Replacement Memorial Fund” to honor these two board members. Approximately 300 street trees are lost every year due to disease, old age, weather, or vandalism, so this ongoing fund will serve to assure the replacement of the lost trees.

43 A Legacy of Community Beautification uring the last 50 years of work in and around Dthe City of Santa Barbara, the community has witnessed Santa Barbara Beautiful (SBB) extending its hand in support of community projects with an ongoing commitment to beautification of the place we call home. Some of those projects represent the wide open possibilities of the organization’s longstanding commitments to children and education about the natural world, such as Arbor Day programs in local schools. Some represent newly forged ties, such as the birth of the collaboration of nonprofit agencies in support of the Santa Barbara Public Gardens Partnership. For Santa Barbara Beautiful, collaboration is key as the organization looks around the community for ways to offer a helping hand and give an encouraging boost to local programs with similar goals and missions.
