Two of the South Carolina Botanical Garden's most dedicated volunteers, Chuck and Betty Cruickshank, inspired the planting of a hosta display through their enthusiasm for hostas and their suggestion that a named garden be established there. They provided partial funding, and an anonymous donor supplied the remainder in their honor. The garden stands as a tribute to their endless efforts and numerous contributions. Commercial plant donors included Bishop Farms of Chesnee, S.C., Carolina Nurseries of Moncks Corner, S.C., Park Seed Co. of Greenwood, S.C., Shady Grove Nursery of Orangeburg, S.C., Green Hill Farms of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and Piccadilly Farm of Bishop, Georgia. Hardscape materials were provided by Metromont Materials Corporation of Spartanburg, S.C. Miscellaneous donors included A.M.E. Industrial Contractors of Greenville, S.C., Gro-Bark of McCormick, S.C., Holnam Inc. of Columbia, S.C., W.P. Law of Columbia, S.C. and Randolph Trucking of Charlotte, North Carolina.
