Meet the Neighbors: A Q&A with Longtime Resident and Garden Club Founder

We sat down with the founder of the Old Northeast Garden Club to talk roses, oak trees, and four decades in the neighborhood.

For this issue, we sat down with a longtime Old Northeast resident and founder of the neighborhood’s Garden Club to talk about four decades of gardening along the bayou, the oak trees that have outlived several owners, and what keeps her digging in the dirt every weekend.

“This neighborhood gardens together,” she told us. “You learn as much from your neighbor’s yard as you do from any book.”
