Dear American Horticultural Society Friends,“Like a good neighbor” the American Horticultural Society (AHS) and Mount Vernonhave always been there for each other over the decades. My introduction to theAHS was through Dr. Marc Cathey when he served as President of the Society in themid-1970’s. In addition to purple becoming my preferred flower color (thanks to theinfluence of Dr. Cathey, whose nickname was Dr. Purple), my association with theAHS for the past 30 plus years has been enlightening, educational, and delightful.There are few pursuits like horticulture that bring out the best in people. I find thatgardeners are inclined to be more grounded (no pun intended), realistic, sensitive,and giving than your average person. Each year, the AHS reaches out to thousandsupon thousands of such individuals through its publications and programs,and with its beautiful headquarters. Through its exceptional staff, dedicatedboard, devoted volunteers, and increased membership, the Society encouragesgardening for joy and inspires people across the country to be better stewards ofthis earth.A little known fact is that 23 has been my lucky number since childhood. I startedto work at Mount Vernon on June 23, 1969; I was married on June 23, 1985; andnow I am the honored guest at the 23rd Annual Gala. I am genuinely touched tobe recognized in this way by the AHS. This honor is confirmation of how blessed Ihave been through my professional and personal life. I met my wife in the boxwoodat Mount Vernon and I have the most amazing group of ladies, The Mount VernonLadies’ Association, as bosses. They are so supportive that they chipped in topurchase a table for our horticultural team to attend this evening’s Gala!Your presence tonight shows your own generous support of the AHS and gardening.Now I ask that you continue to show your enthusiasm by bidding on the silentauction items tonight, and in the online auction taking place October 14–27 (whichwill include my private tour of Mount Vernon for six guests). Your contributionssupport the Society’s programs and stewardship of River Farm, and I know aregreatly appreciated.Horticulturally yours,J. Dean NortonDirector of Horticulture, George Washington’s Mount Vernon4

We thank youfor coming and hope that you have a wonderful and memorable time tonight.Our theme for this year’s Gala, “Celebrating the Gardens of Virginia: Enjoying theBeauty and Bounty of the Earth,” encourages us to reflect on the world aroundus and to take a moment to appreciate the richness that gardens — in everysense — bring to our lives. Whether beautiful gardens that provide refreshmentfor the eyes and soul, or bountiful gardens that provide nourishment and delightsfor our tables, tonight we raise our glasses to the many tangible and intangiblebenefits that gardens provide. We encourage you to stroll through the gardensthis evening as we give recognition to the many contributions that gardens largeand small make to our quality of life.This evening we celebrate the joys and rewards of gardening; the work of theAmerican Horticultural Society; and, the importance of River Farm and placeslike it. River Farm, as the national headquarters of the Society and a place thattraces its history to Colonial Virginia, reflects and supports the organization’svision of “making America a nation of gardeners, a land of gardens.” Itsymbolizes not only the historical perspective of gardening in America but alsoserves as one bright star in a constellation of gardens across America thatrepresent gardening today and gardening in the future. Working together, wecan make the Society’s vision reality and ensure that this great treasure willcontinue to be a place of beauty, inspiration, and education for generations tocome.We are so pleased to have you as our guest at River Farm.
