The garden was dedicated on Tuesday to Florence Wilson, who the school was named after, and Linda Farr, the former president of the Garden City Garden Club, who died in January. Jill Reagle, principal of Florence Wilson, said the school garden has been in the works since 2019, when the GCGC was approved for a Plant America Grant for the project, with the goal to "beautify our school grounds and to teach the kids about gardening and the outdoors." Maxine Wells, president of the Kansas Associated Garden Clubs, said the Plant America grant, sponsored by the the National Garden Club, of which the KAGC belongs, was obtained by Farr and it's in her honor that the GCGC continued the project.
