1986 Sarah Chapman Francis Medal
This publication of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden has probably furnished more valuable horticultural information to both amateur and experienced gardeners than any other series of its kind.
The Sarah Chapman Francis Medal is awarded for outstanding literary achievement related to any aspect of The Garden Club of America's interests.
The Sarah Chapman Francis Medal was endowed in 1964 by Priscilla Beacham Stanton (Mrs. Otis Cook Stanton), The Garden Club of Buzzards Bay, Zone I, in memory of her mother, Sarah “Sallie” Dimon Chapman Francis (1874-1962), GCA member-at-large. The medal was created by Allison Macomber based on a design by Susanne S. Underwood, Garden Club of Buzzards Bay.
