Florence Leanne Reed
2009 Distinguished Service Medal
Presented to Florence Reed. Through her leadership, vision and practical abilities as founder of Sustainable Harvest, she is reversing the cycle of deforestation, soil exhaustion and environmental decline, while improving the quality of life for thousands of families in Central America.
The Distinguished Service Medal is awarded for distinguished service in the field of horticulture.
The Distinguished Service Medal was endowed in 1953 by Priscilla Sleeper Sterling (Mrs. Robert D. Sterling), Garden Club of Dublin and Monadnock Garden Club, both Zone I. Although Priscilla’s primary interest was in conservation, she believed that horticulture played an integral part in the quality of life. Elizabeth Rhodes Reynolds designed the medal first awarded in 1955.
