As WVU-P prepares to observe its 60th anniversary of providing educational opportunities to the Mid-Ohio Valley, the WVU at Parkersburg Foundation invites students, faculty and alumni to participate in the Memory Garden project, which links the college’s past to the future. By purchasing a brick inscribed with a student, alumni or a loved one’s name, and a personal message, the campus will carry that value with it forever.
The Memory Garden is located on the campus front lawn by the clocktower. The student, alum-ni or loved one’s name or message etched on a brick will symbolize the spirit felt when that person’s presence was on campus. Or, perhaps in honor of faculty, staff, administrators, stu-dents, alumni or others to be remembered in a lifetime garden.
Club
The Muskingum Garden Club met via Zoom. LaTrelle Ellis called the meeting to order. She read the inspiration for Jenny Ellis “Whispers of Gods’ Love for Women” based on Psalm 39 verses 13-14. She asked the attendees for suggestions for future activities for the Club. Many suggestions were to implement the past years’ trips which we were not able to pursue due to the pandemic as well as visit to Lilly Far.
Secretary’s Report was postponed until next meeting. Nadine Kasick gave the Treasurer’s Report; it was approved as presented. It was suggested that hydrangeas in our city flower bed need to be cut back. LaTrelle will contact members. Variety of Garden hints were offered such as cutting back bi-annuals which produce blooms on new growth in the summer, such as butterfly bushes, hydrangeas and many other flowering bushes as well as decorative grasses and evergreens.
