The Chamber Walk

The Franklin Garden Club won $5000 for planning and presentation for a “pocket park” called The Chamber Walk on the site where a badly damaged building had been condemned and removed due to the devastation of Hurricane Floyd’s floodwaters on September 16, 1999. Thru the efforts of The Franklin Garden Club, the City of Franklin, and Franklin Garden Center a wonderful park was installed there for everyone to enjoy, honoring those who volunteered, rebuilt, and brought Franklin out of its darkest days. The park was dedicated on May 28, 2003 with Garden Club of Virginia representatives and civic leaders present for the unveiling of the memorial plaque.
