The Garden Team

The credibility and world-wide visibility of the Gardens at Athens did not happen overnight or because of any one individual. The Gardens is managed and maintained by a group of dedicated people, each of whom believe in the basic missions of the gardens: research, teaching, and new crop introduction.

	Dr. A is the founder of this garden and the guy that's kept it going all these years. His most brilliant work is to hire good people so that he doesn't have to do much work. Allan Armitage armitage@uga.edu

	B.J. Garrett is more than a volunteer. She helps out in the trial garden tremendously. Her service to us is invaluable. B.J. Garrett Volunteer Queen

	Meg is the heart and soul of the garden, she is the contact person with all the companies that trial with us and she is responsible for growing and planting all the annuals. She takes data on the annuals and also handles the student workers. In short, she does almost everything. Meg Green Garden Goddess aardvark@uga.edu

	John Q. is a volunteer who also helps out in the trial garden. He is kind and hard working. He also supplies us with delectable chocolates from his travels. John Quackenbush Volunteer Knight
