BENTONVILLE — Bob and Marilyn Bogle of Bentonville were honored Saturday by America in Bloom at its national symposium in Fayetteville.
The Bogles were honored for their dedicated commitment to beauty in their community, according to a news release.
Two of the most popular parks in Bentonville for wedding and prom photos are the Bogles’ private flower gardens. They purchased the properties, designed the gardens and built the gazebo and arbors, according to the release.

Nearly 30 national awards were presented during the three-day program held at Fayetteville Town Center.
