Gayle Gallagher

A thirty-three year Minneapolis resident, Gayle Hartman Gallagher is a multi-talented long-time volunteer with interests in the arts, community, and gardening. From her early experience on the CUE Neighborhood Environmental Committee, the Blooming Boulevards Program, Neighborhood Revitalization Project, Blooms volunteer and garden evaluator, and president of the Field Regina Northrop Neighborhood, Gayle's interests have centered on involving more citizen participation. Gayle's work experience ranges from operating her own businesses to marketing for a national personnel concern to business consulting. An avid gardener, Gayle's gardens were awarded First Place Exceptional near the beginning of the program when only three such awards were issued. Today, over a thousand awards are issued commending and encouraging citizen efforts to beautify the City through gardening.
