"We are thrilled to receive this financial boost from The Principal and the National Garden Clubs. We appreciate the continued support of The Garden Club of Georgia. The dollars will make it possible for us to start the work needed to restore the Front Entrance Garden," said Jennifer Rae Bigham. "Beautiful gardens in Newnan bring pleasure to our residents and let visitors know that we are proud of our community and its heritage. Our gardeners grow more than flowers, they help sow seeds for future enjoyment and community prosperity."

"We greatly value our relationship with the National Garden Clubs, Inc., organization," said Libby Jacobs, assistant director, The Principal Financial Group. "The Principal Financial Group Historic Gardens Project supports talented volunteer gardeners in their quest to create and preserve magnificent gardens. By providing grants to projects like Dunaway Gardens, The Principal is able to leave a legacy of beauty in communities across the country."
