At the Annual Meeting in Williamsburg on May 16, 2012, the Massie Medal for Distinguished Achievement was awarded to Mary Hart Darden. A member of the Nansemond Garden Club since 1984, Mary Hart, through diligence and conviction, oversaw the creation of the GCV database and website. Although her contributions have been numerous, her vision of the future direction of the GCV is perhaps her greatest, enabling us to have a more efficient communication system that makes the GCV accessible to all throughout the technological world.
