The Sentinel does not execute an about face, rather they stop on the 21st step, then turn and face the Tomb for 21 seconds. They then turn to face back down the mat, change the weapon to the outside shoulder, mentally count off 21 seconds, then step off for another 21 step walk down the mat. They face the Tomb at each end of the 21 step walk for 21 seconds. The Sentinel then repeats this over and over until the the Guard Change ceremony begins.

Keep Douglasville Beautiful Board led by Executive Director Chan Weeks developed the concept for the Douglasville Military Honor Garden. Board Chairman Paul Laseter, ASLA communicated those ideas on paper to begin casting the vision to the community.

Craig McManus the project manager and designer for Douglasville's Freedom Island project was asked to serve in the same capacity for the Douglasville Military Honor Garden. Craig refined and fleshed out the concept drawing to the gardens you see today. Some notable additions are the plant design, flag plaza, and Belgard Mega-Lafitt pavers. He also daily managed the project's construction which included over 100 workers and volunteers involved in the project. McManus is the principal at McPlants,inc.

PIQUA, Ohio (WKEF) -- All across the Miami Valley, several organizations hosted Memorial Day events to honor those who have served our country. On May 25, Saturday morning, Vice Admiral James P. "Phil" Wisecup was given a memorial garden at Piqua High School to commemorate all he has done for our nation.

"And so I had this dream to put this thing together like a year ago and got so much help from classmates, family friends, business associates on how to put this whole project together," said Tom Hudson, former Piqua mayor and Admiral Wisecups's classmate.

The honor garden was a gift from Piqua Central High School's class of 1973 to honor his 36 years of service. During those years, he served as the 52nd president of the U.S. Naval War College and group commander for the U.S.S. Ronald Reagan Strike Group.

"I want them to know that this could be you this could be you. People say oh you had a great career and all that kind of stuff, but the point is I came from a small town in Ohio," said Admiral Wisecup.

Recognized for their abundance of beauty and legacy, our core collections are significant to our horticulture displays. Your tribute or memorial gift preserves a piece of Longwood history and ensures the continued relevance and stewardship of these core collections:

The roots of our boxwood collection extend to the French and Italian gardens that inspired our founder, Pierre S. du Pont, making them among the most important and most frequently used plants since the beginning of Longwood Gardens. Mr. du Pont designed some of our most iconic spaces, including our Main Fountain Garden, to showcase this classic and formal garden plant ... which we proudly continue today with one of the largest collections of wild-collected boxwoods in the nation.

A celebration of Asian cultural traditions, our annual Chrysanthemum Festival is unmatched in the western world. The beauty of this display is made possible by our extensive chrysanthemum collection, which contains many cultivars that are not commercially available, but are held and preserved only within our tissue banks.

Accredited as one of the best of its kind in the United States, our diverse waterlily collection consists of the finest tropical and hardy waterlily hybrids produced by noteworthy breeders. Our long history of growing, hybridizing, and displaying waterlilies goes back to 1956 and continues today. We remain dedicated to growing waterlilies of only the highest quality and sharing plants from the collection with other gardens on a regular basis.

This pearl bush was planted my Karen Tarr in memory of her mother Pearl Davis.I reached out to Tarr, to find out the details and learned there was so much more than just that one plant in her garden, planted to remember love ones.

It was a decade ago when she and her husband Dick began to search for something to plant in memory of her mother. Karen knew right where the plant should go, near the driveway where it would on display every day.

Her late father Garnet Davis has also inspired the plantings in the garden. Tarr moved irises from their family home, they bloom in purple, lavender and yellow. She has embraced native plants in the garden too, by adding pretty purple wood irises which also remind Tarr of her father.
