The Julian Haden Gary and Margaret Savage Gary Fund is administered by the Hampton Roads Community Foundation through its Special Interest Grants program. It supports organizations that promote horticulture education, with a preference for the Fred Heutte Center, Norfolk Botanical Garden, and Virginia Zoo.
