The Horticulture department, located at Conner’s Island, was 
established in 2001 by the City of Guntersville under the supervision of Wendy Walker. This department is responsible for landscape designs and installation for city projects as well as the lawn maintenance for Municipal Buildings.
The Guntersville Tree Commission works in close contact with the Horticulturist and her staff on various projects. Some of theses projects include: Project Knowledge which is the tree project along the walking trail on Sunset Drive, Project Canopy which is a tree restoration project along Gunter and Blount Avenues, and awarding the “Beautification Award” for residential recipient and for Non- residential quarterly.
