Nellie’s Family Replenishes Nellie’s Garden
On May 5, 1986 Nellie’s Garden at Shrine Mont was dedicated in honor of
Nellie Mae Stickley Moomaw. The Garden, in the center of the Maryland House,
featured some of her favorite plants including Lilies of the Valley, a Dogwood
Tree, and a Rhododendron bush. Many people were involved in the first
effort to establish the Garden, particularly
St. Andrew’s Guild at St. Andrew’s Episcopal
Church in Mt. Jackson, and many friends of
Shrine Mont. Many more have been involved
over the first 34 years of the life of the Garden.
Nellie was married to Wilmer E. Moomaw
who served as Administrator and Director of
Shrine Mont from 1948 until 1988. Throughout
Wilmer’s tenure, Nellie was at his side helping
to manage all aspects of Shrine Mont with a
gracious spirit of joy and hospitality.
This past year, Shrine Mont and the
Moomaw family took up the task of renovating and landscaping Nellie’s Garden.
Shrine Mont rebuilt and painted the interior walls and removed two dividing
walls. Thanks to the generosity of many, the Moomaw family replaced many
of the plantings and put new trellises in the garden. This summer the newly
revitalized garden welcomed a new generation of guests and enthusiasts.
