The Bonnylin Woods Martin Medal was endowed by Audrey Taylor Gonzalez in honor of Bonnylin “Bonny” Woods Martin (1933–2022), Memphis Garden Club, Zone IX, a distinguished flower arranger, judge, and Flower Show Committee chair (1996–98).

The Martin Medal was first awarded in 1998 and was designed by S. Paul West.
