The Legacy

Garden, valued at in-kind contribution of $15,000, will be designed and

installed in early spring 2003. The recipient agrees to assist with the

installation of the garden, and to maintain the garden. Past recipients

Preference

will be given to organizations that commit to use the garden to further

the Southeastern Flower Show's mission of promoting conservation and awareness

of our natural environment.
