Honoring Our Past Through Stories: Historic Landscape Preservation Grant Fund Benefit

This event is a fundraiser for the Garden Club of Georgia’s Historic Landscape Preservation Grant offered for restoration of historic landscapes, public or private.

There will be two fabulous speakers and honored guests including Lisa Hall, GCG president. Plus a special guest appearance is expected! Before and after the scheduled program, you are encouraged to stroll the grounds and enjoy the many gardens at Fair Oaks, including the “Georgia’s First Ladies” named Camellias, The Founders Garden, the Gazebo meditation area and many more! ‘Plein Air’ painters will be working outdoors to incorporate the landscape into their creations. There will also be education exhibits, music, garden club merchandise and enchanting raffle baskets. Inside the Civil War era home, there will be docents on hand offering interesting tidbits about the home’s history.

Program speakers include Trevor Beemon, Executive Director of Cobb Landmarks & Historical Society, Inc. and the Chairman of the Acworth Historic Preservation Commission; along with Paul Pugliese, Bartow County Extension Coordinator/ANR Agent.
