Memorial garden offers respite

By roanoke - Posted on 17 April 2008

5:23 p.m., Hahn Horticulture Garden, Virginia Tech

The Hahn Horticulture Garden offered a quiet respite for those who wanted a peaceful place to reflect Wednesday afternoon.

That day, garden staff, including Education and Outreach Coordinator Stephanie Huckestein, led guided tours around the site. The garden spreads over more than five acres, including hundreds of species of plants from Virginia and around the world.

There is also some new construction. Once it is complete, the garden will include a memorial to one of the 32 people killed at the campus last April.

Jocelyne Couture-Nowak was a lively Intermediate French professor at Virginia Tech and an avid gardener. Her husband, Jerzy Nowak, is the head of the university’s horticulture department .

The Jocelyne Couture-Nowak Memorial Terrace Garden will open June 13.
