In town for the 2009 Historic Apalachicola Homes and Garden Tour held in early May, Bob Bruggner left Apalachicola and returned to his hometown the City of Havana situated about 98 miles northeast of Apalachicola.Bruggner left the city, but carried with him images of Historic Apalachicola and the community garden just added to this year's tour of historic homes.
So intrigued with the creation and functionality of the community garden, Bruggner contacted local garden organizers about coming back to take a second look.
Bruggner returned today Aug 21 with a Havana entourage that included Town Manager Howard McKinnon, Town Council Member Shirley McGill along with three members of the Havana Garden Club, Margaret Staron, Wendy Adams, and Judy Brundridge.
The group interested in starting a garden in their hometown arrived in Apalachicola around 11:30AM and had lunch at the Grill with local garden organizers Karla Ambos, Jenny Billings, and Beverly Hewitt with city administrator Betty Taylor-Webb also joining the group.
Following lunch, Apalachicola Mayor Van Johnson joined the entourage at the community garden and presented the group with a key to the city.
