The vision for this garden includes other major strategic development. We have a concept design for a conference and function centre that will be a centre piece to the garden itself and will complement all the activities within the garden.

So, once the garden, together with  the conference & function centre, are fully developed SHBG will be able to operate in a sustainable way; in fact, we already do that by raising our own operational costs and making sure we manage in a lean way. The amount of funding we need for development costs, however, is beyond our capability to raise in our fundraising efforts in our lifetime; we must rely on grants and large donations.
