Garden Benefactors
J.T. Leatherwood Bank of America Charitable Foundation We are grateful to J.T. Leatherwood for his generous gift. His commitment to this project was further strengthened by a matching contribution from the Bank of America Charitable Foundation, doubling the impact of his generosity.
Founding Friends
These generous supporters stepped forward with gifts of $100 or more to help bring Dotty Leatherwood Botanical Gardens to life. Their early belief in this community-grown vision helped create the momentum that made groundbreaking possible. We are deeply grateful to these Founding Friends whose support is already taking root for generations to come.
