of the Gables

many trees lost in the hurricanes and storms, the Foundation
started the Greening of the Gables initiative. This has
significantly improved the beauty of the Gables business
district, most recently through the planning of beautiful
oaks and palms along the 200-300 blocks of Alhambra Circle.

Parknership has been successful in creating new parks,
enhancing existing ones, and restoring historic fountains
in “The City Beautiful.”
The Foundation extends special thanks to some of our Guardian Angels, Robert Fewell and R. Kirk Landon and for their generous contributions to several initiatives, and to Ralph Sanchez of Old Spanish Village who generously donated the current office space occupied by the Coral Gables Community Foundation on the Old Spanish Village site at 3001 Ponce de Leon.
