Founder figures in Trump’s ‘Heroes’ garden

The founder of The Woodlands — George P. Mitchell — will be one of scores of historical figures honored in a new National Garden of American Heroes established by President Donald J. Trump

In a news release posted to the White House website on Monday, Trump explained the garden concept and provided a list of honorees that will be recognized under the executive order. They include Mitchell, a Galveston native who died in 2013.

Township board member Ann Snyder said Mitchell was “most deserving” of the honor.
