The Extension Master Gardener SM Association of Cleveland County (EMGACC) is leading the development of this public garden to honor the life and legacy of Dotty Leatherwood. It will be located beside the LeGrand Center in Shelby. "Dotty was well known and respected for her career in healthcare and her dedication to community service," says Anne Eskridge, one of the members of the Garden Planning Committee. "Dotty was a proponent of life- long learning. Being an avid gar- dener, she was instrumental in launching Cleveland County's Extension Master Gardener Volunteer Program and served as the Association's first presi- dent." Eskridge says that the new garden will honor Leatherwood's memory by providing a com- munity gathering space for con- tinuing horticultural education, positive social engagement and quiet reflection. To raise funds for the new garden, the EMGACC is holding a daylily sale/fundraiser during the month of August or as long as supplies last. Available for this sale are three new hybrids of daylilies: "Dotty's Distinctive Flair," "Dotty's Radiant Spirit," and "Deep-Hearted Dotty." "Paul Owen of Slightly Different Nursery, a world- renowned daylily hybridizer, created and formally registered these one-of-a-kind cultivars to offer as a gift for donations of $100 or more," says Eskridge. The lilies can be picked up at the official groundbreaking event at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 10, 2022, at the garden site. All proceeds from the fund- raiser will go toward the creation of the garden. Located on a wooded expanse beside the LeGrand Center and designed as an aesthetic mas- terpiece, Eskridge says the gar- den will function as a retreat for small groups and individuals, an entertainment venue and an outdoor classroom. "Although it's intended to be used as a public space, the garden will lend the feel of a private wooded retreat," says Eskridge. "Our extensive project reclaims a natural space by pro- tecting and preserving mature hardwood trees and restoring a creek." Amenities will include water- falls, winding concrete paths, walking bridges, sitting areas, and an outdoor amphitheater with grass seating. "Shade-loving ferns will be established along the creek banks, and other areas will cap- ture Dotty's spirit by showcasing some of her favorite landscape plants," says Eskridge. "The garden will be fully wheelchair accessible, and public parking will be available nearby." The garden will be devel- oped in phases as funds per- mit. Those interested can make tax -deductible contributions to support garden construction and long-term maintenance. To access the form for pur- chasing daylilies or to make a donation to the garden, visit www.leatherwoodgarden.org or call 704-482-4365. Check dona- tions can be made payable to "Dotty Leatherwood Memorial Garden" and remitted to: Master Gardener Association, 130 S. Post Road, Suite 1, Shelby, NC 28152. Dotty Leatherwood, right in the photo above from last year, is being honored with a memorial garden to be located beside the LeGrand Center in Shelby. To raise funds for the garden, three new daylily hybrids were created by Paul Owen. These hybrids are being offered as gifts for donations of $100 or more to help construct and maintain the garden. Dotty Leatherwood was a master gardener and helped found the Cleveland County Extension Master Gardener Volunteer program and served as the group's fi rst president.
