The lone Garden Club was
treated to slide illustrated
program by Mrs. Fredrick
Martin when it met in the
social room of the lone United
Church of Christ. Feb. 13.
The program. Desert Flora
along the Oregon Trail, con
sisted of slides taken from
April to August showing plants
in bloom and in seed pod.
Mrs. Lee Pettyjohn gave the
welcome and the Rev. Edwin
Cutting gave an introduction
of the program. The slide
program was the result of a
project conducted by the club
which required members to
catalogue and photograph the
flora in north Morrow County.
All garden clubs in the Blue
Mountain District participate
in this project which seeks to
identify and preserve the
native flora of the Oregon
Trail plot, which consists of
approximately four acres of
land where the Oregon Trail
crosses the Bombing Range
Road.
An historical background of
the project was presented to
members. In 1968 a meeting of
the lone Garden Club mem
bers expressed a dream that
the plant life of Northern
Morrow County be preserved.
At that time the construction
of freeways and the John Day
dam plus other factors threat
ened their existence.
In 1972 a meeting was held
in Boardman of Oregon State
Garden Club officers. Port of
Morrow officials and others at
which the project was begun.
Lee Hodgekiss and Mrs.
Hugh Moore of Umatilla
started the preservation pro
ject by picking four plots of
land in the Oregon Trail
crossing area. Each garden
club in the area. Stanfield,
Umatilla. Hermiston and
lone-Heppner, was given one
oi the plots for examination.
Club members went to their
respective location every
week or two to look for new
plants in bloom to be cata
logued and photographed.
