GIVE where you live

 

Virginia Twinam Smith was long-time member and exhibiting photographer with Women In Focus and the Atlanta Photography Group (APG), and a patron of our green space. In her declining years, she found comfort and respite in Woodlands Garden’s urban sanctuary. She missed her former spacious home and busy life. So, after a morning of doctors’ appointments and therapies, Virginia would spend some time in the garden. Here, she would witness the familiar seasonal changes and blooms, connecting with lifelong rhythms and drinking in the natural beauty.

Virginia passed away earlier this year, and donated a collection of her photographs and works to Woodlands Garden. Virginia’s daughter says, “My mother was a giver in life, helping to found the local chapter of the Herb Society and serving as a docent at the High and at the Tullie Smith House. Giving her works to Woodlands, with the purpose that her pictures will aid in fundraising, means that her generosity can continue beyond her temporal life.”

Virginia frequently spoke about the Morse family’s admirable gift of their Decatur home for public enjoyment and the common good. Please join her in supporting Woodlands with a donation on the GA Gives website.

Virginia Twinam Smith’s photography collection has many pieces and is currently for sale through Woodlands Garden.  Contact director@woodlandsgarden.org to learn more.
