Thank you to our Garden Sponsors and Donors

We would like to thank everyone who has donated funds to make this garden possible. This beautiful and historically meaningful garden would not be possible without ongoing support from our community.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the University of Georgia Master Gardener Extension Volunteers for their tireless dedication to the Major Ridge Demonstration Garden at the Chieftains Museum. We are especially thankful for their thoughtful efforts to represent the types of plants that Major Ridge might have had on his plantation, as well as those significant to Cherokee culture and heritage. Through careful plant selection, they are helping preserve and share a vital piece of history. In addition to their hard work maintaining the garden, these volunteers have gone above and beyond by donating both their time and personal resources, and by raising funds to improve the garden year after year. We are deeply appreciative of their passion and commitment.
