The Monk Botanical Gardens have been a cherished part of Wausau, Wisconsin for over 30 years. This beautiful oasis was generously donated by Robert Monk and his family to our city. Their name has always been synonymous with the gardens, until recently when it was renamed as the Wausau Botanical Gardens.

Robert Monk's philanthropic spirit brought this garden into existence. It is not just a place of beauty but also a symbol of community and generosity that Mr. Monk embodied. His contribution to our city goes beyond just this garden; it is an integral part of our local history and identity.

However, in recent times, his name has been removed from these gardens - an act that feels disrespectful to his memory and legacy. We believe that restoring the original name would be a fitting tribute to Robert Monk's contribution to our community.

We are calling on the city officials and relevant authorities in Wausau to restore respect for Mr.Monk's legacy by reinstating the original name - "Monk Botanical Gardens". By doing so we will ensure that future generations remember Mr.Monk's generosity every time they visit these beautiful gardens.

Please sign this petition if you believe in preserving local history and honoring those who have made significant contributions to our community.
