Restoring the Early Rose Garden
Clara and Henry Ford's Early Rose Garden is one of the most enchanting spaces on the estate and a favorite stop for visitors! Beyond its wrought-iron gates, the garden is planted with many shades of pink and cream to echo the flowers Clara chose in 1916.
Now, we are working to preserve two important, iconic features of the garden: the Tea House and the Lily Pond. After years of wear and tear, the pond and the tea garden roof are in great need of repair. The pond must be resurfaced, and the roof entirely restored. (Read more about these projects
on our website here.)
You can help!
We have raised more than $30,000 toward these projects, but we need $10,000 more to complete them. Your tax-deductible donation on Giving Tuesday, Nov. 29, can help bring this beautiful garden back to its original shine!
While the house is under restoration, the grounds are open for visitors to explore, relax and soak in the beauty of Fair Lane, so these garden projects will be enjoyed by many visitors.
We hope that after Black Friday and Cyber Monday, you will consider making a tax-deductible gift to these projects!
Sincerely,
Angel
