Helena Beautification Board
The Helena Beautification Board is an appointed municipal board of the City of Helena Alabama. With a goal of creating a sustainable landscape, the board began to incorporate existing Earth Kind cultivars into its plan. Under the direction of Brian Puckett, Board Vice Chairman and now Curator of the trials, a conversation began with the Earth Kind Team at Texas A & M that lead to a partnership to establish the very first municipal rose trial in the United States in Helena.
