The Garden is beautiful and offers so much whether you are visiting to enjoy nature, attending an event, or participating in an educational activity. This is because the Garden has a great staff of gardeners and wonderful volunteers.Together, they make the plants grow and things happen. Speaking of growing…the Botanical Garden continues to grow in every way. Several weeks ago, the Garden held its annual spring fund raiser, Greening of the Garden. This event unofficially kicks off spring at BGO and provides the Garden with funds to operate for the balance of the year. This year’s event was a great success with a 31% increase over the previous year which was itself a record setter. I hope you will join me welcoming some new coworkers to the Botanical Garden. Charlotte Taylor is the Garden’s new Chief Development Officer. Elizabeth Wilhelm is the Director of Special Events. Roslyn Imrie joins the Garden staff as the Education/Communication Coordinator. In addition, Alex Bergdahl has joined our group of gardeners. They are all very talented and are excited about the opportunity to be a part of the Botanical Garden team. As mentioned, the Garden staff and volunteers continue to work to maintain and improve our current demonstration Gardens. You may have noticed the new trails and plantings in the Garden. These improvements and the maintenance all re- quire a financial commitment from the Garden. Recently, the annual appeal for support of the Garden was mailed out. I urge you to consider a donation in support of your Botanical Garden. If you have already sent in a contribution, I thank you for your continued support. We are also very thankful to the volunteers who help out in so many areas this year. Whether it is cutting the grass, watering plants, helping the gardeners, assisting with the school children at one of the education activities, helping with Little Sprouts, working in the reception area, preparing mailings, assisting at an event, or helping in so many other areas, the Garden would not be what it is or what it will be without our volunteers. It’s been cold, it’s been rainy, it’s been hot and still, you have been here. Again, thank you.

Since April, BGO has added a Chief Development Officer and Associate Executive Director, Charlotte Taylor, a new Special Events Director, Elizabeth Wilhelm, as Liz Esch moves to a part-time special events coordinator position, and a new Education and Communication Coordinator, Roslyn Imrie, as Judy Smith moves to volunteer status and Volunteer Coordinator. Out in the Garden, the staff has grown too, adding Alex Bergdahl as gardener. Job titles have changed too. Lissa Morrison is now in charge of garden design and management; Nikki George is manning the greenhouse and nursery and Megan Lankford is lead gardener. These changes and additions will help the Garden grow in all ways. Please enjoy reading about our new people and introduce yourself to them the next time you visit BGO. Charlotte Elizabeth Roslyn Alex Charlotte Taylor has recently joined the staff of the Botanical Garden as Chief Development Officer and Associate Executive Director.

They landed in Fayetteville 13 years ago to begin a family and are blessed with 2 children, Logan, 11 and Olivia, 9. She is grateful to be a part of the BGO family and looks forward to overseeing the Special Events at the Garden. Roslyn Imrie is the new Education and Communications Coordinator.

  • Foundations of Arkansas' Creative Economy
    CREATIVITY IN THE NATURAL STATE Deep Roots, High Hopes Foundations of Arkansas’ Creative Economy Addendum Due to an oversight, St. Francis County was mistakenly omitted from this report. In terms of Table 7, in 2000, St. Francis County had 14 full-Time artists, designers, and performers a rate of 5.9 full time artists per 1,000 employed. St. Francis County’s assets include the St. Francis County Museum, which offers visitors the oppor- tunity to learn about the history of the county as well as East Arkansas Community College, the sponsor of the annual Ridgefest Fall Festival, which offers a wide range of entertainment to visitors to the Forest City campus. EACC offers students a wide range of arts electives and is in the process of constructing a Center for the Fine and Performing Arts.

  • Internal Control and Compliance Assessment Arkansas Legislative Audit
    Internal Control and Compliance Assessment Arkansas Legislative Audit Department of Arkansas Heritage For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2014 INTRODUCTION This report is issued to inform the Legislative Joint Auditing Committee of compliance with state fiscal laws and regulations as well as deficiencies in internal controls for the Department of Arkansas Heritage. As discussed in the Results of Assessment section below, our procedures disclosed that the Agency had insufficient segregation of duties over cash transactions of the Loughborough Trust Fund due to a limited number of personnel. SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY We performed an internal control and compliance assessment of the Department of Arkansas Heritage, a department of Arkansas state government, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2014, and have issued our report dated May 26, 2015. Management of the Agency is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls and complying with applicable laws and regulations. The assessment included cash on deposit, cash receipts, expenditures, capital assets, and data entry to the Arkansas Administrative Statewide Information System (AASIS). The assessment consisted principally of inquiries, observations, analytical procedures, and selected tests of internal control policies and procedures, accounting records, and other relevant documents. We relied on financial data in AASIS recorded by the Agency and audit work conducted in the fiscal year 2014 State Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (CAFR) and Single Audit Reports. The methodology used in conducting this assessment was developed uniquely for this engagement and, therefore, was more limited in scope than an audit or attestation engagement performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.

The works, including large-scale installations, are physically curated in ways that unite an experience of subjective topography while also allowing for an independent visual voice—they reveal both an independent sense of personal geography as well as a collective experience. Positive and negative space as well as the concrete and the fluid are continually questioned. Terrains, which are fragile and despondent, are unearthed as a thematic extension of Artosphere: Arkansas’ Arts & Nature Festival. Cynthia Nourse Thompson, Curator Amber Cowan Cowan received a BFA in 3-Dimensional Design with a concentration in Glass from Salisbury University (2004) and an MFA in Glass/Ceramics from Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia (2011).

  • Section 1: Community Summary
    1. Community Summary Northwest Arkansas, nestled in the Ozark Mountains, is a rapidly growing metropolitan statistical area (MSA) of about 500,000 people, which includes the cities of Bentonville, Rogers, Springdale, Fayetteville and surrounding areas in Benton and Washington counties. Northwest Arkansas has experienced significant growth and development over the past ten to twenty years, driven predominantly by Walmart Stores, J.B. Hunt Transport Services, and Tyson Foods, all of whose headquarters reside in Northwest Arkansas. Due to the presence of Walmart, the region hosts representatives from almost every Fortune 500 company as part of a large “vendor” community. Northwest Arkansas was recently named the third best place to live in the United States and first overall as most affordable by U.S. News and World Report. The Northwest Arkansas region boasts a nationally recognized art museum—Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art—more than 200 miles of trails, three hospital systems, multiple state parks, and four well established colleges and universities. Fayetteville is home to the Walton Arts Center and the beloved University of Arkansas Razorbacks. The Northwest Arkansas Naturals, a minor league affiliate of the Kansas City Royals, play in nearby Springdale, while the Walmart Arkansas Music Pavilion, the premiere outdoor concert venue in the region, is located in Rogers. Beaver Lake is the home of a national bass tournament and is a popular vacation destination. This growing region has led to the influx of an increasingly diverse population. This diverse community includes a large Hispanic population, a burgeoning Marshallese community of 10,000 or more, as well as several thousand Indians.
