The Friends of Wellesley College Botanic Gardens are excited to announce a challenge pledge: a generous donor will match every contribution towards a Botany Fellow through the Center for the Environment, doubling the impact of your gift. If the Friends can raise $160,000 by May 1, they will be able to hire a Botany Fellow, with a focus on sustainable agriculture, possibly as soon as this fall. Gifts should be made out to Wellesley College, with an indication that they are for the Center for the Environment fund. You may also follow the directions at www.wellesley.edu/wcbgfriends and make a gift online: in step 2 click on the box to the left of “I would like to direct my gift to the following area(s)” and under “Other Designation” enter “Center for the Environment Fund.” For more information please call Kristina Jones at 781-283-3027.
