Last year’s local trips included tours and workshops
at Heaven Sent Roses, 7455 Reynolda Road , Pfafftown
, North Carolina 27040-9766 . Cathy and Mike Tindall’s
lovingly developed showcase rose garden is impressive
at any time, but when everything is in bloom, even
in the rain, it is a magical place.
On August 9, 2006 , the FCMGVs visited
Bethabara Park in Winston-Salem for a tour led by Dan
Johnson and Beverly Nesbit who have recently restored
the 1760 medicine garden to peak condition. Dan and
Beverly, both faculty members at Wake Forest University,
are volunteer curators of this unique garden. A PowerPoint
assisted lecture followed the garden tour. A pot luck
luncheon at Bethabara Parks 1803 Herman Buttner house
concluded the day’s activities. |
