The Thomas T. Taber Museum of the Lycoming County Historical Society will host Carl Bower, Jr. to speak on Way’s Garden, its past, present and future at 10 a.m., May 8 in the Community Room of the Taber Museum.

“Way’s Garden is the delightful park tucked away at the corner of West Fourth and Maynard streets, Williamsport,” a news release from the museum said. “But do you know the history of the Garden?”

Carl Bower is an assistant professor of horticulture at Pennsylvania College of Technology and is on the Way’s Garden Commission.

“His passion for gardens has allowed him to take a role in the revitalization of Way’s Garden, and allows him to share his talents with others in the community,” the news release said.

Way’s Garden is the site of the annual Way’s Garden Art Show, sponsored by the Bald Eagle Art League, which will be held June 7-8. In addition to the work of regional talented artists, music will fill the air and food will be available at Trinity Church. An additional bonus will be the traditional indoor yard sale, YesterShoppe, held at the Taber Museum.

Bower’s talk is free and open to the public. His lecture is sponsored by Catherine Burns Insurance, Muncy, Pennsylvania.. Light refreshments will be served.

According to the news release, the museum is located at 858 W. Fourth St., Williamsport. For further information about the museum, please visit the museum’s website at www.tabermuseum.org or call 570-326-3326.
