RADFORD â Wednesday was homecoming day at Radford University.
Spring has sprung, and the hard work of the Mill Mountain Garden Club is paying off with an explosion of brilliant colors lining the pathways of the newly restored Wildflower Garden atop Mill Mountain.
On a recent Tuesday morning, over a background of a trickling pond and chirping birds, came the sounds of shovels in dirt and eight women laughing. âThe visionaries,â as they call themselves, were immersed in the never-ending job of removing invasive species from the newly restored garden.
These women, members of the Mill Mountain Garden Club and the driving force behind the revitalized garden, were surrounded by trillium, bluebells and columbine as they kept up the work before the ribbon-cutting ceremony scheduled for noon Thursday.
