Garden Club Wins On Parkway Project

The $50.00 cash award offered
this year by the South Carolina
Chamber of Commerce to the
Garden Clhb in the State for the
most attractive Roadside Park
way was won by the Newberry
Garden Club. The award was pre
sented at the State Convention
of Garden Clubs held in Green
wood on March 28 and 29.
Following is an article written
by Mrs. Steve C. Griffith, public
ity chairman of the Newberry
Garden Club, in which she out
lines the club’s work on the
roadside parkway:
Encouraged by the call from
our Roadside chairman to help
in beautifying our highways, and
irom our highway officials for
proper roadside development and
protection, the Newberry Garden
Club decided to undertake the
making of a Roadside Park as a
workable and practical project for
the current year.
The spot decided upon for the
Park is located on the by-pass
around the Cuy of Newberry on
highway 76 (Columbia - Green
ville) approximately two and one-
half miles from the city. It is a
place of rare natural beauty
and has been untouched by man
made equipment except for two
old chimneys, made of native
rock, lety standing from an old
log building which was destroyed
by fire many years ago.
The little park is semi-circular
in shape and literally filled with
oaks, birches, sweet gum, hickory
and pines. The club has planted
dogw r oods, yellow 7 jessamine, bulbs,
ivy and native shrubs. It is a
natural habitat for many species
of native birds. Recently a covey
of partridges was seen nestling
there in the grass. The front
age of the park is long and a
drive is available for motorists
to drive off the highway. The
entrance is marked by two tall
rustic posts from w'hich hang
rustic lanterns (electrified) which
burn at night. An appropriate

the park and its sponsors. As
motorists approach the park from
either side, they will see a sign
saying, “Roadside Park 1000

Inside the park stand the two
tall rock chimneys with large
open fireplaces in each. These
fireplaces hold lovely old wrought
iron andirons which w 7 ere given

Three ample picnic tables with

water available. Also placed in
the park are trash receptacles.

Strangely enough this little
park has an interesting historical
background. The original owner
some years ago decided to deed
the property to the Newberry
City and County, but with the
stipulation that it be used only
for park facilities. Legend has it
that this was an old stage coach
stop on the way from the up-
country to Charleston.
The city and county of New
berry have shown utmost ap
preciation and cooperation toward
the project, and the club members
have been so thrilled about the
park that it has been no hardship
at all to take time off to put on
a bridge tournament or other
projects for raising funds to be
used on it. The actual upkeep
is looked after by the project com
mittee and members of the club
and they have been aided with
finance and labor by the city of
Newberry and Newberry County
and a number of local citizens in
terested in the project.
It is the sincere wish of the
Newberry Garden Club, whose
president is Mrs. S. A. Meek, and
the project committee, which is
composed of Mrs. O. M. Cobb,
chairman, Mrs. R. R. Bruner, Jr.,
and Mrs. C. I Youmans, that the
driving public will use and en
joy our Roadside Park and will
find in it a refuge of friendly
hospitality -
