Join us in honoring the Works Progress Administration (WPA) original gardeners who cleared the land and planted the first azaleas in 1938. The ceremony begins at 2:00 p.m. in Rose Garden Hall followed by light refreshments served in the Baker Hall Visitor Center. Additionally every year, Norfolk Botanical Garden President’s Council on Inclusion and Diversity (PCID) presents the Groundbreaker Award – inspired by the WPA statue entitled Breaking Ground. The award honors individuals, groups, or organizations who demonstrate groundbreaking leadership and service to the community.
