A garden is being established at Hyslop Farm in memory of Daryl Ehrensing and Mary Verhoeven, two of our colleagues who left us way too soon. Both spent countless days at the farm over the past decades and the garden is simply a tangible tribute to the impact they both had on their friends and colleagues, the department of Crop and Soil Science, and on the world of agriculture.
Gardens are never truly ‘finished,’ as they are constantly a work in progress. However, the basic framework is done, and it is time for a dedication. Please join us on May 6th to dedicate this garden to the memories of Mary and Daryl. The informal ceremony will be brief, the friends will be many, and the weather, as always, unpredictable. There will be a few minutes set aside for those who wish to share a story of a moment or event that was particularly memorable or perhaps defined your relationship to Daryl or Mary.
