The Michele Easton Cortright Memorial - Green Angel Awards for Gardening Excellence are given out each year to individuals, families and or business. Recipients receive a check to a local nursery, a certificate/award, a Gardening Angel garden sculpture, and often times their picture will appear in the local paper. The fund is supported by donations.

The purpose of the award is to bring attention to those persons who make our community more beautiful by their gardening efforts and to raise the level of awareness in general about the importance of giving back to the earth.
