Elena Moreno Memorial Garden

In December 2017 AAUW MH and the City of Morgan Hill dedicated the Elena Moreno Memorial Garden within Railroad Park on Depot Street. The garden acknowledges Elena, who had died the previous year, as an AAUW Honorary Life Member, original member of the first Wildflower Run committee, and lifelong Morgan Hill resident. (Read about Elena’s life: “Remembering Elena Moreno”.)

The garden was established with funds donated by Elena’s family. Branch member Jenny Redfern, a UCCE Master Gardener, and late member Jean Pinard selected the original plants.

Our Sunday Gardeners interest group continues to tend the garden and will be refreshing the plantings this winter.

To join that group, contact Chris Hopwood.
