Juliette Gordon Low family hopes to help Girl Scouts save Savannah garden

In 2016 the GSUSA presented schematic plans to update the garden, which were met with criticism and fear that Lee’s design and legacy would be lost. At that time the Cultural Landscape Foundation designated the garden a Landslide nationally significant, threatened landscape, and those plans were later abandoned.

“It’s an important work of landscape architecture that has a long history in terms of Clermont Lee, but I would also say in terms of a cultural landscape,” said Charles Birnbaum, TCLF’s President and CEO, which commissioned the most recent plans with support from the Gordon Low family.
