The Norfolk Botanical Garden hosts a vivid azalea display rooted in a WPA era labor project. In 1938 about 200 black women cleared 25 acres with pickaxes and shovels under supervision, planting 4,000 azaleas and 2,000 rhododendrons that helped shape today’s 155 acre site famed for its roses and azaleas.
The May Cereus Gardeners meeting taught magnolia cultivation with hostess Alice Heineman guiding. Peggy Bumpus opened with the Collect for the Club and introduced guest Linda Watkins. The group redirected unused funds to a camp scholarship and discussed prep for next season. Lil Symonds noted lady bugs and praying mantis aid pest control and advised frugal spraying. A reader reported sowers along Route 77 in North Carolina heading toward South Carolina with no sponsor named.
