1983 Amy Angell Collier Montague Medal

For improving the horticultural quality of New England's roads and parks, including hybridizing Cornus kousa and struggling to preserve endangered species.

The Amy Angell Collier Montague Medal was endowed by Gilbert Holland Montague in memory of his wife (1872–1941), a member of Garden Club of Mount Desert, Zone I. Amy derived great happiness from horticulture, music, and involvement in civic improvement. The medal, designed by Gertrude K. Lathrop, was first awarded in 1950.
