Bullington Gardens
A garden with heart
Big Ideas,
Real Impact.
Thank you to the Community Foundation of Henderson County and the Perry N. Rudnick Endowment Fund for their generous grant for the restoration and improvement of the Fairy Trail Rain Garden. Since Hurricane Helene, the damage to the Fairy Trail was impeding visitors and causing run off and erosion. With the help of the Community Foundation of Henderson County and the Perry N. Rudnick Endowment Fund, volunteers and our BOOST students, Bullington gardens will be able to repair the erosion on the Fairy Trail.
