Ithaca Children's Garden in need of Board Members

Ithaca Children’s Garden is a small not-for-profit organization with a public children’s garden. We are currently in the process of developing the 3-acre site in Cass Park with funding from grants and private donations. Phase I, completed in 2006, resulted in the building of Gaia, the large cement turtle sculpture that is prominent as you drive past Cass Park on Route 89. Our educational programs on-site and at schools have now reached hundreds of children in the Ithaca area since 2000.

It is time for the organization to grow and stretch! We plan to increase the number of board members and develop a more diverse governing body so that the new board can move ahead with strategic planning, site development, fundraising, and the appointment of a new executive director in 2007.


If you are interested and would like an invitation to a welcome breakfast, please contact Deb Mohlenhoff.
