Member Testimonial

Spokes help has been transformative for the Garden in many areas, ranging from budgets, operations, policies and procedures, and long-term vision, just to name a few. The impact of SPOKES has been HUGE, and having a Spokes interim Executive Director was lifesaving. Personally, Spokes has made my work at the Garden so much more organized, less stressful , and hopeful for future success.”
