LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – Waterfront Botanical Gardens has been given a big boost from a Louisville man who’s already made a substantial donation.
George Duthie has already given $1.2 million for the project in memory of his late wife, Mary Lee Duthie. Last week he announced an additional $500,000 match grant to help with the progression of Phase 1 of the construction project at the Botanical Gardens. It includes new donations and signed pledges to the non-profit organization.
