Abstract
Description
This photograph of Evelyn Thom Spach (seated) and Flora Ann Bynum was taken at the release celebration of Mrs. Bynum's book "Old Salem Garden Guide." Eveyln Thom Spach maintained Old Salem's Miksch House gardens for many years and provided flower arrangments at many museum events. She served as president of the Garden Club Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County from 1960 to 1962 and twice served as president of the Old Salem Garden Club. Flora Ann Bynum (1924-2006) was a noted horticulturist, author, and historic landscape expert. The garden at her home on Main Street in Salem, the 1844 John Siewers House, was an unofficial stop on the Old Salem tour for many years. For over 30 years she served on the museum's landscape restoration committee and mined the Moravian Archives to find out exactly what types of plants the Moravians grew.
