• Brookgreen Garden's Vision for Growth •
After almost thirty years, Craig Gaulden Davis (CGD) and Brookgreen Gardens reconvened to evaluate the 1990's master plan and look for opportunities to expand programming and service offerings. One exciting result is following through on the original vision to have a Conservatory on Brookgreen’s campus. CGD began working on a design of the new 20,000 sf Conservatory with arched, perforated brick that complements the Moorish design language seen at Atalaya Castle and other garden facilities.

The building will serve as a welcome center and event venue featuring a large Great Hall, a glass structured butterfly garden, catering kitchen, coffee shop, exhibition greenhouse, and a terrace overlooking Fountain of the Muses.

• And Then a Garden Party... •
We joined Brookgreen Gardens as they launched their capital campaign, Campaign for the Next Generation, with a delightful garden party. The fundraising efforts will expand the National Historic Landmark's offerings through a new contemporary conservatory, new art facilities, expanded Lowcountry history exhibits, and a new exhibit in the Lowcountry Zoo.

• CGD Joins Ten at the Top •
We value the people who will benefit from the spaces we create. One way we demonstrate this value is by engaging in our communities personally and professionally. Craig Gaulden Davis sponsors and engages in the work of Ten at the Top (TATT) because we are devoted to uplifting communities through design.
