Chatham Garden Club member wins statewide conservation award

ASHLAND, Va. â Elizabeth Neal Davenport, better known as Betty, of the Chatham Garden Club, is the winner of the 2021 de Lacy Gray Memorial Medal for Conservation. The award was presented at the Garden Club of Virginia annual meeting hosted by the Ashland Garden Club on May 5. This award was first presented in 1965 as a memorial to de Lacy Thompson Gray. It is presented to an individual member or member club of the Garden Club of Virginia in recognition of outstanding effort to further the knowledge of our natural resources and encourage their wise use. Proposed by the Chatham Garden Club, Betty has played a central role in transforming a thirteen hundred acre tract of land on her farm, Banister Bend Farm, into a nature preserve. The goal of the preserve has been to construct, restore and preserve wildlife habitat with a mix of streams, riparian areas, wetlands and adjacent uplands which further enhance and compliment the functions of the Banister River and Stinking Creek.

Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities – Encyclopedia Virginia

SUMMARY Organized in 1889, the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities (APVA), currently known as APVA/Preservation Virginia, was the nation’s first statewide historic preservation organization. Spearheaded by an elite mix of female antiquarians and their “gentlemen advisers,” it became a sanctioned instrument of conservatives who strove to counter social and political changes after the American Civil War (1861–1865) by emphasizing southern history and tradition. The APVA enshrined old buildings, graveyards, and historical sites many of which were forlorn, if not forgotten and exhibited them as symbols of Virginia’s identity. As the national preservation movement evolved, the APVA became less overtly political and now identifies itself as a professional organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the Commonwealth’s heritage.

Annual tour focuses on gardens, outdoor living spaces

Betsy Biesenbach Special to The Roanoke Times Last March, Bre Vassar, chair of Roanokeâs Historic Garden Week in Virginia tour, had already begun lining up volunteers to open their homes and gardens when the 2020 tour was canceled due to COVID-19 restrictions. âIt was a little depressing,â she said, since she had already been working on the project â which is sponsored by the Roanoke Valley Garden Club and the Mill Mountain Garden Club â for several months. At the time, most people thought it would be just a matter of weeks before everything got back to normal, but last spring, in an almost-prescient move, the Garden Club of Virginia â which provides publicity and support for the statewide event in exchange for a portion of the ticket sales â decided to encourage its member groups to hold outdoor-only events this year.
