Plant - a - Palm
Isle Of Palms, United States
Hurricane Hugo struck the Isle of Palms on September 21,1989. This powerful storm destroyed the natural landscape of ths island and demolished many homes and businesses. In an effort to restore a portion of the natural beauty, a group of concerned citizens organized the Plant- A- Palm Committee. The Committee sponsored numerous events, soliciting donations and grants to raise money for the purchase and planting of over 800 native Sabal Palmetto trees along Palm Boulevard. This marker is a tribute to those who served on the Plant - A - Tree Committee. The Isle of Palms and its people are sincerely grateful.<br><br><center> Robert Chesnut & Jack Sims, Chairmen<br><br> Chuck Blair•Pam DeFratus•Charolette Riley• Pauline Blair•Al Gibson•Phyllis Shaffer• Dick Boyce•Peatsy Hollings•Laura Skatell• John Bozzelli•Ceal Irwin•Bonne Taylor• Malcom Burgis•Johnnie Reed•B.B.
