FOUNDERS CIRCLE

In 2012, the Friends of the Flowering Bridge’s newly formed Board of Directors needed seed money to jump start the project. We asked local families to invest $100 to be a Founder of the Gardens. We were pleased with how many folks trusted us and our vision as we raised $23,000 to start creating these special gardens. Each donor received an engraved brick that was installed in our Founders Circle. The Friends of the Bridge will be forever grateful for the generosity of this group of donors who believed in us before the gardens began growing.
