Reafield Vester, a man who helped pave the way for the creation of the Dothan Area Botanical Gardens a little over 30 years ago, was honored on Sunday with a sculpture on the garden grounds.
“ gets the credit for starting the Botanical Garden,” said Dothan Area Botanical Gardens Executive Director William Hollman. “It started many years ago when he was leading a Master Gardener class and the question came up about botanical gardens and it went from there.”
“Why don’t we have a botanical garden here?” said Welden, which prompted a response from Vester of, “Nobody has ever tried.” Welden replied, “Why don’t you?” and thus, the idea was born. Through volunteer work spearheaded by Vester, the Rose Garden was developed on the ground and it grew to what it is today through all the hard work and dedication of those volunteers.
