Every time I write about my gardening adventures, I think of FM Mooberry, who died on Dec. 11 at age 85. A very smart woman and an immensely talented gardener, for years she wrote an inspiring, informative horticulture column for The Kennett Paper. She was a pioneer in the native plant movement and would often discuss the importance of protecting and propagating them. Phlox "David," which she discovered and named after her husband, is still sold every year at the London Grove Friends Meeting plant sale in May.
FM's memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, January 23, at the Kendal at Longwood Auditorium, 1109 East Baltimore Pike. Deepest sympathies to her family. She will be missed by many.
