At a recent award ceremony at George Washington’s River Farm in Alexandria, Dominion Valley Garden Club member Millicent “Millie” Rever of Fairfax Station received the National Garden Clubs, Inc. Award of Honor.
Among Rever’s achievements and activities that helped earn her the award are her years working with students at Keene Mill Elementary School, where she taught soil preparation, planting in raised vegetable gardens, planting trees around buildings and setting up water and butterfly gardens.
Rever helped the school become Certified for Wildlife Habitat by assisting in establishing an area for birds and animals around the school.
