We know that Enchanted Airlie is a beloved holiday tradition and one of the hottest tickets in town, but we aren’t just pretty lights! Enchanted Airlie is our largest fundraiser of the year and supports important projects in the gardens. Did you know that those lights have helped fund our stormwater master plan and the continued implementation of the plan? Airlie is a beautiful, historic garden, but it also serves as the last point of filtration for the Bradley Creek watershed. When the gardens were first purchased, one of the main drivers was improving water quality in Bradley Creek and that remains a priority. Development in the past 10 years has greatly impacted our gardens. We know that 2024 will be an important year as we focus once again on the best way to handle the millions of gallons of stormwater that enter the gardens.
