Description
The sculpture allegorically depicts White's association with the Botanic Garden with a bas-relief of Mother Nature removing branches from a laurel bush to make a wreath. In addition to his name and years, engraved are the words, "Lover of Nature · Helper of Mankind · Beloved of All".[1]
The monument was dedicated on June 7, 1923, but the original stele by architect Henry Bacon was destroyed and the original moved to the Botanic Garden auditorium. A replacement was erected in 1990.[1]
