As one of the most significant thing that has taken place in 2017, we want to recognize the lighting donations that have come from Tom Rowe at Kichler.

Donated Trees from J. Frank Schmidt Nursery
January 2017

We noted that gift with a plaque that was installed on the recognition pedestal at the east end of the Garden.
