Hope Botanical Garden is deeply saddened to announce the passing of JoAnn Fowler, our beloved Vice President and a founding member of our board. JoAnn had been with Hope Botanical Garden since its inception in 2017, and her passion for horticulture and dedication to our mission were instrumental in shaping our organization into what it is today.
JoAnn’s infectious enthusiasm, unwavering commitment, insightful guidance and zeal were an inspiration to all who knew her. Her technical writing skills, knowledge and expertise were invaluable, and her warm smile and welcoming presence will be deeply missed.
JoAnn’s legacy will live on in the beauty of Hope Botanical Garden. We extend our heartfelt condolences to JoAnn’s family and loved ones during this difficult time.
