Botanical Garden and the WPA

By
Real Estate Agent with Fathom Realty

Wonder where the Nofolk Botanical Garden had its start?  It was part of the WPA 70 years ago.  It was created and dug out by over 220 African American women and men.  They worked for 25 cents an hour from dawn til dusk.  Now these people are being remembered with the WPA Memorial Garden.  The official opening will be next spring when the azaleas are in bloom.

So many botanical gardens, as well as city and state parks, got their start back during the Depression. I wonder what this generation will leave behind for people 70 years from now.
