It was a gorgeous day at the Thoroughgood House on Wednesday as we celebrated the incredible Louise Greer, who has dedicated 23 years of volunteer service and celebrated her 95th birthday in May!🌸
As the saying goes, "Age is only a number," and Louise proves it every day. An active Extension Virginia Beach Master Gardeners volunteer, she can often be found on her hands and knees tending to the gardens with the same enthusiasm and dedication she's shown for more than two decades.

Louise is truly an inspiration to us all. Thank you for your years of service, your passion, and the joy you bring to our community.
Happy 95th Birthday, Louise! 🎂🌷
