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). Bonny received the Natalie Peters Webster Medal in 1982 for her horticultural acumen and the Katharine Thomas Cary Medal in 2012 for floral design education. The Martin Medal was first awarded in 1998 and was designed by S. Paul West.
