My friend Ray McKay reports that on October 26 the members of the Lesserton Garden Club planted a pink Kousa dogwood tree at the Charles F. Patton Middle School in memory of his wife, Mary, who taught there for many years. He said that Mary, a member of the garden club, "had planted the first gardens near the main entrance to the school office and sponsored a garden club at the school. Her dedication to others and her community were recounted by many members of the garden club in attendance. It was nice to see so many good friends honoring Mary."
Mary Mackenzie Tharp, president of the garden club, was nice enough to share these photographs of the planting ceremony. "
It is nice to see this beloved, but modest friend receive recognition from the Community!" she writes.
