We offer a warm introduction to KAY MCCASH, our master gardner at the Interpretive Center.
A master Gardener for six years, Kay dug right into Tijeras Pueblo activities by contributing her expertise to meetings on landscaping for the new interpretive center. She was the Garden Coordinator for six years for Martha's Garden, a South Valley neighborhood project affiliated with the Eugene Field Elementary after-school and summer programs. The Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) was also involved with this project. As part of her Martha's Garden work, Kay gave classes on gardening and lectured on water conservation.
Kay is a retired nurse and taught medical-surgical nursing for 38 years. A very resourceful person of indomitable spirit, she built her own adobe house in Tijeras in 1982 with the help of her (then) five-year-old son.
Kay hopes to meet more volunteers who are interested in working on our landscaping and garden projects. Come and get your hands dirty...come and have fun.
