Hi, my name is Sue Wilson, and I am a member of the Green Thumb Garden Club. I love gardening, landscaping, and history, so what better place to spend my time than at Lyles Station, trying to make my plot of ground a beautiful, welcoming place for all who come to have a great experience there. This is my third season because I moved back to Indiana two years ago. My plot is the small log cabin, so full of history. It is a few hundred feet past the school. I have a vision that keeps evolving in other areas or plots, and I also receive help from other Green Thumb members with mine. We have a unified plan to be a part of this historical legacy of Lyles Nation for generations to come. The log cabin has various herbs and flowers surrounding it so that visitors can become acquainted with the plants that grow in Southern Indiana. Children come on field trips to be educated to all the history that is so important for them to be a part of and all the generations to come. As a member of Green Thumb for many, many years, I extend my invitation to anyone who would want to give their time to help with this important Historical legacy. Adopt a Plot! Thank you,
Sue Wilson Contact: Stanley Madison, Jodi Meyer, Sue Wilson, or call Neal Mustard at 812-664-0649.
