With that background, I introduce Lola Rogers. She is a long-time member and chairman of the Arlington County Beautification Committee, and also serves as a Master Gardener for the Cooperative Extension Service. She is a retired National Science Foundation program officer, who originally came to Washington as an elementary-secondary science specialist for the old U. S. Office of Education.
A native of California, she received her bachelor's degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara; her M. A. from San Jose State University; and did additional graduate work at Oregon State University and the University of Michigan. She taught both elementary and high school; established the education program for the California Junior Museum; served as a high school science department chairman and as an assistant professor at San Jose State University.
Lola is a past president of both the Bellevue Forest Civic Association and of the Bellevue Forest Garden Club, which she now serves as horticulture chairman. She is an elder--as well as the chief gardener--for the Presbyterian Church of the Covenant at Military & Marcy roads. (It is known as "azalea church" for the more than 500 such bushes planted on its grounds. It also has more Arlington Notable Trees than any other single site, including one which is the largest box elder in the County.)
