GROW WITH  US

The GROW WITH US Reforestation Initiative is complete! When the project started to take shape several years ago, the Park amphitheater was surrounded by invasive plants. Now, this area is home to several hundred native shrubs and forbs and an interactive sculpture, Metamorpho-nest, by Andrea Wilson Mueller.  Inside Out Landscape Design brought this project to life by donating the landscape design, plant materials, and installation. The native plants were selected based on their host potential to provide food and shelter for a variety of wildlife including birds, butterflies, bees and other pollinators. These host plants also create shade, reduce erosion, filter air pollutants, and sequester carbon.

Thanks to generous donors, JSP met the $125,000 GROW WITH US fundraising goal. JSP thanks Richard and Anna Marie Rosen, Inside Out Landscape Design, Nancy Rose Osborne, and everyone that donated to help reach that goal. Donations of $500 to $5,000+ will be acknowledged on permanent GROW WITH US donor signage.

You can experience the GROW WITH US project on your next visit to Josephine Sculpture Park. Meander through the interactive sculpture, rest and meditate in a nest or stone bench, watch birds eat from the feeder station, and marvel at the beauty of the site's plant diversity and observe the many other species the plants support.



GROW WITH US was the final phase of the JSP Capital Campaign that raised a total of $350,000 from 2018 to 2022 to purchase an additional 10 acres bordering the Park, restore a historic Tobacco Barn as a program and event space, and re-establish the native landscape.
