Margy White of Sperryville put 13,000 miles on her Subaru last year to volunteer for a job she loves.
This is Ms. White’s second year as the chairwoman for the 1994 Garden Fair at the State Arboretum of Virginia at Blandy Experimental Farm in Boyce. Last year the fair drew 6,000 people during the Mother’s Day weekend, and it is expected to draw even more this year. It is the Blandy Farm’s largest public event. The fair will take plaice on May 7 and 8 and admission is free.
Preparing for the garden fair is a full time job for Ms. White during the fall and spring. She coordinates with many other volunteers to raise new plants, mostly perennials, from seed, cuttings and grafting. One of the greenhouses is hers for four months in order to raise the plants for the garden fair.

Viewtown residents Jackie and Pooh Baker will be on hand with their classic perennial favorites, cutting garden plants and unusual day■;
