New England Wild Flower Society
New England Wild Flower Society
2001 Distinguished Service Medal
Presented to the New England Wild Fower Society. Established in 1900, and dedicated to the conservation of wild plants. The society believes that gardeners make some of the best conservationists as they nurture native plants in their own gardens.
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.
