Chairman Lynn Beeler, The Martinsville Garden Club

Calder Loth, proposed by the Garden Club of the Northern Neck and endorsed by the James River Garden Club, was invited to become an Honorary Member of the Garden Club of Virginia at the 2007 Annual Meeting in Newport News. Former GCV President Helen Murphy introduced him, having had the privilege of working with him on numerous projects. Serving as the Senior Architectural Historian of the Commonwealth, Helen described him as a “dedicated advocate of historic easements and preservation of landscapes, as well as old buildings.” Calder thanked the Garden Club of Virginia for the honor bestowed upon him and acknowledged the wonderful work of the GCV.

“The Garden Club of Virginia exists to celebrate the beauty of the land, to conserve the gifts of nature and to challenge future generations to build on this heritage.”

These worthy goals have guided the Garden Club of Virginia since 1920.
