Last Friday, more than 100 people gathered at the Elizabeth Park Pond House to honor Jack Hale for his service to Knox Parks Foundation and the city of Hartford. Hale, the former executive director of Knox, recently left after more than 20 years leading the non-profit horticultural organization. Speakers saluting Jack included Hartford Mayor Eddie A. Perez, Hartford BID Director Michael Zaleski, former Councilman Bob Painter and community leader Nancy Macy.

The Knox Parks Foundation grows and maintains the Hartford BID's more than 275 flower planters that beautify the Downtown and Asylum Hill. Jack Hale has started his own consulting business that focuses on successful green programs.
