Juliette Low Historic Trees

Before Juliette Low's death, her memorial tree was a Red Maple. Later, the Juliette Low tree was a Southern Magnolia, basically meaning the one growing outside of her birthplace.

Girl Scouts planting trees

Library of Congress image: Girl Scouts of Washington D.C. planting trees. 1925.
(Does anyone else notice that not a single girl is holding a tool? It's just the adults)

The Historic Trees website, www.historictrees.org

 used to carry a Juliette Low Magnolia tree, but they no longer have it listed.




Although hard to read, the sign in front says Juliette Gordon Low and Southern Magnolia.
The Juliette Gordon Low Magnolia Rose Garden is possibly in Tampa, FL.
It does NOT have the Girl Scout Rose. 2009
