It was a chilly night but The Path To Freedom Anthology Event was filled with warmth and words. “A Path to Freedom, edited by Lenard D. Moore, LeJuane “El’Ja” Bowens, and Shannon C. Ward, from Fayetteville’s Longleaf Press, illustrates beautifully and poignantly the extraordinary bounty and diversity of writers in North Carolina that can speak, with eyewitness precision and passion, from an astonishing range of perspectives about the military experience.

Their efforts included propagating over 4,000 plants for one of the most successful plant sales ever, grossing more than $11,000! They also made significant strides in maintaining the historic camellia forest, creating new pathways and trails, and beginning the restoration of the front gardens while installing beautiful new signage. Engaging with the community, they planted over 1,000 daffodil bulbs, adding vibrant charm to the landscape. To cap off the year, the Dirt Gardeners decorated the grounds for Weymouth Wonderland, bringing holiday magic to visitors. Their dedication and hard work have truly transformed Weymouth Center.
