We are pleased to share with you our annual report for the past year. We ended fiscal 2012 in an even stronger position than the previous year, with solid growth in facility rentals and program income, significant investments in capital projects and unprecedented increases to our endowment. Thank you all who played a part in this success. Two years ago, Duke University entered the silent phase of the Duke Forward campaign, but we at Sarah P. Duke Gardens were not silent. In those two years we funded and completed more than $4,000,000 worth of improvements in the Gardens, including the Charlotte Brody Discovery Garden, completed this past year and certified with two stars from the national Sustainable Sites Initiative. The Brody Garden is our newest addition and is at the forefront of our efforts to expand our programming to Duke students, families, adults and schoolchildren. In this garden, we are teaching valuable lessons about whole foods, nutrition and the connections between people, plants and animals, all in a hands-on setting. Ryan Bird With the Duke Forward campaign entering its public phase this year, we began planning Duke alumnus (E´10) improvements to the Doris Duke Center and our main entry experience.

Page-Rollins White Garden The redesigned White Garden is living up to its name, much to the delight of visitors and clients holding special events in the Doris Duke Center. White-blooming herbaceous and woody plants put on quite a display in the spring. The new Gothic Pavilion is a magnificent focal point for the garden, its arches underscoring Duke Gardens’ integral role within Duke University. A water fountain and furnishings were added beneath it, and vines will soon grace the top, softening the geometry and providing additional interest. New path lights and accent lighting in the trees and Gothic Pavilion mimic moonlight and create a great backdrop for evening events. The garden was dedicated at a ceremony in May, at which Duke University President Richard H. Brodhead praised its intriguing appeal. “Whenever I walk through here, I just think, ‘White, white, white, but each so different,’” he said. “‘And look at these foxgloves, and look in the beyond them at the roses; each so different.’ And it just seems to me that when you come here, you remember the phrase from Darwin: ‘endless forms most beautiful.’ That’s what you see here. It’s just the gardens sort of endless forms of nature, bound together by this color white.”

Walker Dillard Kirby Perennial Allée This redesigned and renamed allée was dedicated in May, and it is looking spectacular. Made possible by a generous gift from the F.M. Kirby Foundation and inspired by the perennial borders made famous by English gardener Gertrude Jeykll, these borders offer dazzling blooms and striking color combinations. Foliage also plays a large role in the border, with coarse textured plants such as canna lily and fatsia providing a tropical flair while the chartreuse colors of aralia and heuchera heighten the excitement. Ginger lilies and other plants offer fragrance, while plants like salvias, phlox and hosta draw hummingbirds and butterflies. The perennial allée is a nearly year- round experience, with hellebores blooming in January and sasanqua camellias completing the bloom season through November. We hope you will enjoy the new design.

gift from the family of Marjorie McGann Robins. The highlight is a Japanese-style ume bachi stone water basin set among large boulders, fed with water through a bamboo spout. Ume refers to the basin’s design, recalling the shape of the Japanese apricot (Prunus mume) flower, a specimen of which was planted in close proximity to the new water basin. Other notable plants used in the new design include Japanese maples, ginkgo, American and Asian sweet-shrubs, Japanese painted ferns and viburnums. Formal entrance rails on either side of the entry path are made from massive bamboo poles. And the new arboretum entrance sign is crafted from Western red cedar. These highlight the transition from the festive atmosphere of the Rose Garden into the more quiet and contemplative environment of the Arboretum.

When I was 10 years old, I visited Duke University with my older sister on a potential college visit. We visited the Gardens in the evening during the trip. Every year after, when we would drive to pick up or return my sister to Duke, I would beg that my family visit the Gardens, no matter how hot or humid it was.

Finally, when it was my turn to attend college, I honestly did not think that Duke would be the place I was going to attend. I felt that I needed to go somewhere different, and that I needed to explore other possibilities. Returning to the campus, and sitting in the Gardens, however, I realized that Duke was where I needed to be.

During my freshman year I must have gone there at least three times every week, especially when I missed home. With all of the beautiful flowers and trees, the Gardens were the closest place that reminded me of home.

Subsequently, my solo visits to the Gardens began to decrease and were replaced with walks with friends, and the occasional visit with the ducklings each season. I always visit when I return to Duke. The Gardens have been a second home, a place you can return and always feel welcome.

Above: dancers at Swing the exciting Charlotte Brody Discovery Garden now complete, in the Gardens. Duke Gardens is of greater service to the Duke and regional communities than ever before.

20 Years of Service Volunteers’ contributions of time, expertise and care have had a profound impact on the Gardens. Often the time that volunteers contribute to any organization is thought of primarily in terms of hours of service – more than 16,350 in the last fiscal year alone. But that just skims the surface of how volunteers enhance an organization. It does not account for the richness that they bring to the Gardens. Each volunteer has different life experiences, a variety of skills, knowledge and creativity, different perspectives to contribute. That diversity helps to grow a garden that is beautiful, enriching and inspiring for all our visitors. Over the last two decades, the volunteer program made a significant impact in shaping Duke Gardens’ ability to serve visitors. It was from the volunteer program that the education program was born. The volunteer program also created the Terrace Shop, the gardens Terrace Café, the Garden Guild, the fall and spring plant sales and the tour program. We extend a heartfelt thanks to the 275 volunteers outreach in active service in fiscal year 2012.

And the Music in the Gardens Weddings series produced by Duke Performances continues to draw large audiences, at Duke Gardens in fiscal year 2012 many of whom come early to tour the Gardens or enjoy pre-show picnics.

Marketing the Gardens The website redesign was in full throttle as the fiscal year ended, with Raleigh-based Coalmarch Productions designing an alluring new site that is set to launch near the year’s end. With the redesign, we sought to put the Gardens´breathtaking visuals and elegant new logo at the forefront while also providing useful information in a simplified and intuitive form. We hope you will explore the new site and offer feedback as to how it can serve you best as a visitor and Gardens supporter. Our social networks continue to grow, with more followers connecting with us through Facebook, Twitter, our blog and other resources. We now have more than 6,000 Facebook followers and nearly 2,300 Twitter followers. Our events-focused blog posts are nearing the 100,000 page view mark, with almost 23,500 views between January and June of this year alone. We also recently joined Pinterest, a photo-focused online bulletin board that has grown popular in the last year. We look forward to sharing our Gardens photos and those of other Pinterest users. The local and regional media have been generous with coverage of events and developments at the Gardens. Among the highlights, Our State magazine did a full feature on the Asiatic Arboretum in May, including a Tea Gathering video posted online (see it at ourstate.com/videos/japanese-tea-gathering). And Durham Magazine did a photo spread on our 2011 Sunset Soirée.

Facility Rentals Duke Gardens continues to be a popular choice for weddings. For FY’12, there were 37 garden ceremonies, the same as the previous year. The Doris Duke Center hosted 35 weddings. And the center was booked heavily for proms and social gatherings by nonprofits. Duke departments have also become more interested in having their events at the Gardens. The number of Duke events held at the Gardens increased by 23% over FY’11. Improvements to the Doris Duke Center and efforts to increase our visibility within and outside of Duke have resulted in a strong slate of bookings for the coming year.

My love affair with native plants began in 1997 when I became a horticultural aide in the Blomquist Garden. For the last 15 years I have been privileged to learn from a gifted horticultural staff about how plants function as a community, much like people. Plants, like people, depend upon each other for the ultimate success of their community while being continually impacted by forces beyond their control. That’s life in a nutshell!

The Gardens at Duke continue to inspire me as a textbook in landscape architecture – the bones of the garden. The superb hardscape elements – for example, stonescaping, ornamental accents, pathways, and structures – blend effortlessly with plantings to create landscapes that provide endless garden ideas for home gardeners and landscape professionals alike.

As an undergraduate, I often strolled through the Terraces with my husband, Jeff, to enjoy the seasonal floral displays. As parents we photographed our daughter Tiffany in the Terraces during our annual summer pilgrimage to North Carolina. Tiffany was married in the Angle Amphitheater in 2005. Most recently, on a glorious summer day in June, Tiffany photographed her daughters, Greer and Payton, dressed as garden fairies frolicking on the paths in the Blomquist, White Garden and new Discovery Garden.

My mother, Mary Louise Cowdrick, was interred in the Memorial Garden in May. Someday Jeff and I will also rest in peace there side by side, content that these 55 acres will continue to be lovingly tended to provide a place of learning, inspiration and enjoyment for all who enter.
