Our commitment to supporting Alzheimer’s research
For many of the early years of Walters Gardens, Harriet Walters was
the lifeblood of the family business. She’s remembered fondly for her
incredible cheerfulness, kindness, and optimism, but especially for her
infectious laugh and sense of humor. Even through all her years after
being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, Harriet still maintained her sunny
personality and silliness, as well as a deep sense of care and concern
for each member of her family, even as she lost her mental function and
memories. Harriet passed away in 2008, and it is in her honor that we
will donate $0.25 per plant sold to Alzheimer’s research. The Elephant is
a symbol for Alzheimer’s Disease (“an elephant never forgets”), which is
why we selected an Elephant Ear to be our cause plant.

leaves and quickly filling out a container. Asexual propagation prohibited.
