While most of Columbia was just waking up to a rainy Thursday morning, June 4, 2009, and contemplating that first hot cup of coffee members of the Adair County Garden Club were already hard at work. Members Jennifer Smith, Wendy Burt, Johnnie Biggs, Mary Knight, Lila Loy, Dianne Loy, Angie Loy, Trisha Loy, Maury Lewis, Lucille Lemmon and Barbara Armitage began replanting the rose garden at the Trabue House.



Work at the Trabue House began weeks ago on a cold frosty morning with the unearthing of the old brick walkway in the original rose garden. Almost daily rains since then have kept progress on the garden at a snails pace but gardeners can only wait so long. Dodging rain showers this morning volunteers began the arduous task of transferring the garden blueprint into life. Dozens of Roses, boxwood and a Foster Holly found their new homes in the garden today.

Works remains to be done. There are roses to be added over the next couple of weeks and the beds must be mulched. The brick walkways will be repaired as necessary and new benches placed at one end of the garden. The end result will be worth all the effort.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE: These dedicated people are working tirelessly to bring the beauty of nature to everyone who lives, works or visits Adair County. If you would like more information on the Trabue House Rose Garden Project or the Adair County Garden Club please call Barbara Armitage at (270) 250-2979.
