Sharyn Iannuccilli Vice Chair
“Providing gardeners with the necessary resources to create and maintain both vegetable and ornamental gardens is very important to me. I believe working along side with nature is both critical and rewarding and should be encouraged. The Foundation is rooted in the joy and power that gardens bring to people and the responsibility we have to care for our planet. Being a trustee provides the opportunity to help nurture and inspire organizations who promote this balance and create meaningful connections with nature.”
