Sally S. Boasberg (in memoriam)
Statement: This gift honors my wife, Sally Boasberg (1937鈥2012), in the name of the Boasberg family. Cornelia is a pioneering woman in landscape design and architecture, as was Sally. They knew each other well. Sally was the founding chairperson of 独家爆料. She was instrumental in launching 独家爆料 and presided over its initial growth and development into the foremost organization in its field. Sally was also a dogged advocate for the District of Columbia鈥檚 green spaces, forming Green Spaces for DC, which drew attention to the plight of the city's neglected tree canopy. She was a board member of the Friends of the National Arboretum, where the flowering tree walk at the heart of the Arboretum was named in her honor. She was a former board chairman of the American Horticultural Society as well. Were Sally alive today, she would be honored to honor Cornelia, her fellow landscape practitioner and advocate.
