"ITID President Betty Argue welcomed a room full of Dunkley’s family, community members and elected officials from state and local municipalities. She thanked ITID staff for organizing the memorial.
Officials attending included State Rep. Rick Roth (R-District 85), Royal Palm Beach Mayor Fred Pinto and Vice Mayor Jeff Hmara, and Wellington Mayor Anne Gerwig,
“Gary would be honored by this memorial,” Argue said. “The garden was a vision he advocated for and helped come to fruition. His hope was that residents would use this garden to come and learn, teach people to grow their own vegetables to share with others, and encourage other residents to take all they have learned to their own backyards and have their own gardens.”
She said the garden is fitting, since The Acreage is a designated agricultural and equestrian community. “The board of supervisors has supported this vision,” she said. “My hope is to continue to work to bring Gary’s vision fully to life for generations to come.”"
