Hagley Museum and Library Executive Director Jill MacKenzie has gotten to know many of you during her 44 years of devoted service. Your support as members, donors, and partners in advancing our mission has been the greatest gift for all of us here at Hagley.
On the occasion of Jill’s retirement in June 2026, we are offering you an opportunity to send Jill a message of thanks and support through this special tribute program.
This Bud to Bloom Virtual Rose Garden was launched in 2024 in conjunction with our Rose Garden replanting project. The Garden is adjacent to the E.I. duPont Garden, and features over 60 heirloom roses corresponding to the periods during which the du Pont family tended the garden. Cultivating and caring for this Garden while it establishes will yield years of beauty and enjoyment for future generations.
Help us carry our work forward while celebrating Jill’s distinguished career at Hagley. A donation of any amount to The Hagley Fund, using the link below, “plants” a rose on our website during 2026, where you can include your message of up to 24 words.
Thank you for your support as we celebrate Jill and this “budding” garden!
