The garden’s existence is the result of a group effort led by Horticulture Agent Minda Daughtry, Tracie Bowers (EMGV), and the Extension Master Gardener Volunteers of Lee County, who researched plant species, designed the landscape, cleared and prepared the soil and planted the garden. The garden is maintained by Amanda Wilkins, the horticulture agent (as of August 2022), Tracie Bowers, Extension Master Gardener Volunteers, and members of the Lee County community.
