The History of the Root Ball
Greenscape of Jacksonville, Inc. was founded in 1975 by Ann Baker and Susan Fisher and, for 50 years, has enriched the Jacksonville community through the planting, protection, and promotion of trees. In 2007, Greenscape entered into a partnership with the Late Bloomers Garden Club for a fundraiser called the Root Ball. The Late Bloomers served as the coordinating and planning committee, working with the Greenscape staff and Board of Directors.
