Jan Detter has been gardening in her grandparents’ vegetable patch since she was a child. After leaving Catawba County for art school, she remained in touch with gardening as a young tapestry weaver who wanted to create vegetable dyes for her weavings.

In her professional life that spans 50 years, she worked as a weaver, an artist in residence in mosaics, an arts administrator, a gallery owner, and a creativity & innovation professor for Wake Forest University. She still gardens, but not for textile colors or food. These days she gardens for her soul and her health. As she says, “You don’t stop gardening when you get old, you get old when you stop gardening.”

Daniel Horne received a Bachelor of Horticultural Science with a concentration in Landscape Design, as well as a Minor in Botany and in Agribusiness Management from NC State University. After graduating, he worked in the landscape industry for three years, installing and maintaining residential and commercial properties. In 2003, he began his career with the NC Department of Transportation, serving as Stokes County Maintenance Engineer and the Division Roadside Environmental Engineer. Daniel has served as a Board Member for the NC Vegetation Management Association for many years including serving as the president in 2022 & 2023.

Unfortunately, we can no longer take registrations for our March 13 meeting because of the overwhelming response and space limitations.  We invite you to join us on May 8th for our program on the NC Wildflower program with NC Department of Transportation, Daniel Horne.  For the latest information on the Winston-Salem Garden Club and the Garden Club Council of Winston-Salem/Forsyth County, follow us @gardenclubcouncil on Instagram and Facebook.
