Special thanks to....

Without generous cash and in kind gifts of more than 50 people to cover the some of the costs of materials, postage, administrative needs, signage, fundraising costs, etc. during our first year, many extra things could not have been accomplished. Our sincere thanks to each and every one of them.

An impressive amount of volunteers contributed time and energy to the programs and events of the first year of Central Gardens. However, there were also volunteers involved with other areas of the Central Gardens in 2001 whose talents and gifts were shared in a variety of less obvious projects and tasks.

Special Thanks to those individuals and the following organizations:
