Forsyth Park

Trustees’ Garden Club has a decades long history of sponsoring and directly participating in improvements to Forsyth Park.  In 2012, the club restored the Fragrant Garden located inside of the western dummy fort in the center of the park.  Since that time, Club members volunteer each month to work side by side with City staff to tend the garden.  Other contributions to the park over the years include landscaping the playground areas and funding the addition of brick walkways and benches in the area of the two dummy forts. 

In 2015, in order to protect and preserve this priceless asset for generations to come, Trustees’ Garden Club in partnership with the City of Savannah,  initiated a multi-year project to develop a Stewardship Plan for the park.  The plan has three phases, development of a comprehensive Master Plan (completed in 2021), applying to the National Park Service for recognition of the park as a National Historic Landmark (on-going), and establishing a park conservancy to raise private funding to pay for projects in the park as determined in the master plan (on-going). This effort is called the Forsyth Park Project. The expense of the project is fully underwritten by Trustees’ Garden Club along with the generous support of civic partners.
