Renowned Atlanta garden designer Ryan Gainey will be remembered in a memorial tribute Aug. 31 at the Atlanta History Center. Gainey, 72, died trying to save his beloved Jack Russell terriers Jelly Bean, Leo and Baby Ruth from a fire at his home in Lexington, Georgia. The dogs did not survive.
Gainey was the owner of Ryan Gainey & Company, and has designed gardens around the world. He was also an author, and was featured in numerous magazines. He headed design for the Visitor's Center and garden at the South Carolina State Botanical Garden at Clemson University and worked on numerous public and private gardens.
The gathering will be held from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Woodruff Auditorium at McElreath Hall, 130 West Paces Ferry Rd., and is open to the public. A reception will follow in the Grand Overlook ballroom. Attendees are asked to bring a flower for the wreath.
