MACAA’s Rock Hill Gardens
Since the beginning of July 2010 a small core of energetic and determined volunteers has been cleaning up the MACAA grounds to reveal the spectacular stone walls surrounding the nearly 8-acre site. There are terraced gardens, all connected by stone steps and paths, and even a stone gardener’s cottage with a slate roof. All of the stone work was done in the late 1930s and once upon a time the Rock Hill Gardens were the showplace of Charlottesville. The lead volunteers are Bob Fenwick, Gene Fleming, Larry Stremikis and Carol Garges. Day of Caring provided a huge team of volunteers representing seven local companies. We are also fortunate to have on-going help from the Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity and the incoming UVA law school classes. |
