About our speaker: Susan Reynolds retired from a 30 year career as an award winning band director in California and Texas in 2022. She has always loved plants, gardening, and digging things up from the side of the road and now serves her community as the Executive Director of the Texas Botanical Gardens and Native American Interpretive Center (TBG) in Goldthwaite, TX. She is the organizer, grant writer, fundraiser, and “general flunkie” for the Board of Directors. On March 28, 2024, Susan spearheaded the Grand Opening of the new Demonstration Gardens at the TBG’s office, a ground up, grassroots project that netted nearly $52,000 in grants and just over $18,000 in gifts.
Susan and her husband of 40 years enjoy her retirement and the “Mimi and Pop Pop” time they get with their two grandsons, Asher and Shiloh.
