Biographical/Historical
Jane Taylor was the former Michigan State University Director of Annual Gift Programs for the Michigan 4-H Foundation. She received her B.A. at Marietta College in 1957 and her M.S. in 1959 from the University of Illinois. She was affiliated with the Michigan Association for State 4-H Youth Staff, Michigan Botanical Club, Friends of Historic Meridian, National Wildflower Association, Association of Living Historical Farms and Agricultural Museums, and Michigan Nut Growers Association. She was the founding curator of the 4-H Children’s Garden at MSU and the first recipient of the Jane L. Taylor Great American Gardeners Award in 2000, an annual show award from the American Horticulture Society.
She retired in 1998 and along with her husband, Lee, who also was a professor of horticulture for MSU for almost thirty years, moved to Portland, Maine.
