Recipient of the Elizabeth Abernathy Hull Award, 2025

Nominated by a member of The Augusta Garden Club

Sisters Naomi and Sarah Jones established Jones Garden on unused land, creating a community garden accessible to all ages. Their innovative approach has transformed this space into educational laboratories for youth, encouraging healthy habits and sustainable practices. Through hands-on workshops, the Jones sisters help children connect gardening skills with broader environmental concepts and sustainable lifestyle choices. Their programs teach young people about food systems, biodiversity, and resource conservation in practical, engaging ways. By involving children directly in planting, maintaining, and harvesting, Naomi and Sarah foster deep connections with nature and develop understanding of ecological principles. Their dedication has created an invaluable community resource that nurtures environmental stewardship in the next generation.
