If you visit Marilyn's Village, you'll notice an amazing flower garden on the west side of our building. This area is now the Wabash Valley Garden Club's Memorial Garden!

This last week the Garden Club placed a few things into the garden.

** - A beautiful bench was placed on the end of the garden.

** - A large stone and sign was placed to remember Garden Club members from 1955-2024 (names of those members were read at the presentation). President Ruth Ann Crowder and Villager Carrie placed the stone along with a lily.

** - Richard Throckmorton and current Garden Club member Sharon Young placed the second stone in memory of Cathi Throckmorton. Jan Hershberger planted an iris from Cathi's garden.

The Memory Garden was created through the generous donations of Cathi’s family and friends, the MV Board of Directors, and the coordinated work crew of garden club members and villagers.

A beautiful project and sight to see!!
