Coretta Scott King Garden

A garden tribute to the memory of Coretta Scott King will be dedicated Thursday at the Edgewater, Md., campus of Sojourner Douglass College in Southern Anne Arundel County.

The memorial garden to the widow of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. is the first of its kind in the nation, according to organizers. And the youngest daughter of the couple, Dr. Bernice A. King, will deliver the keynote address.

The event, scheduled for noon, is open to the public and there is no charge.

Mrs. King would have been 84 years old this month.

About Susan Reimer

Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
