What they do
MCKEE BOTANICAL GARDEN, INC. ("MCKEE") is A FLORIDA NOT-FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION FORMED IN 2003 to RESTORE and OPERATE MCKEE BOTANICAL GARDEN, A PUBLIC BOTANICAL GARDEN IN VERO BEACH, FLORIDA. IT DERIVES VIRTUALLY ALL of ITS REVENUES FROM PUBLIC SUPPORT, EITHER THROUGH CONTRIBUTIONS and GRANTS or FROM PROGRAM SERVICES FEES. IN RECOGNITION of THE MANY FUNCTIONS MCKEE BOTANICAL GARDEN SERVES IN ITS COMMUNITY and BEYOND, THE BOARD of DIRECTORS and ADVISORS DEVELOPED A MULTIFACETED MISSION STATEMENT to GUIDE ITS FUTURE. THE MISSION of MCKEE is "TO NURTURE and ENHANCE A HISTORIC GARDEN IN A UNIQUE TROPICAL SETTING for THE EDUCATION, ENJOYMENT and ENRICHMENT of ALL." MCKEES EXOTIC and NATIVE COLLECTIONS ARE CAREFULLY CULTIVATED to INTEREST VISITORS WITH THE POSSIBILITIES of LANDSCAPING IN A TROPICAL ZONE. EMPHASIS is PLACED ON PLANTS THAT PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INTERACTION, SUCH AS THE BUTTERFLY-ATTRACTING VINES THAT WIND THROUGH THE ENTRANCE PERGOLA.
