Making a timely visit to Way's Garden, the faculty adviser and several members of Penn College's Horticulture Club spent Earth Day afternoon helping to beautify a municipal oasis at West Fourth and Maynard streets. Wielding rakes, pushing wheelbarrows and toting trash cans, the students and horticulture instructor Carl J. Bower Jr. – along with Bob Esposito, president of the Way's Garden Commission, and community gardener Dorland Miller – helped clear a winter's worth of fallout and get the neighborhood jewel ready for spring planting. Just a few blocks from Penn College, which is in the midst of a Centennial celebration, Way's Garden is marking its own 100th anniversary this year. (The park's actual birthday was in 2013, but an unofficial observance will kick off May 31 with a public unveiling of plans for a grand restoration.)
