Cypress Bend Resort will be losing a familiar face that has enhanced the natural beauty of its grounds for twenty-four years. The talented mind and hands of horticulturalist Cathy McCurdy are going on to other personal projects. She has said she may do a blog, have classes at her home, but definitely will play in her own yard.
Cathy received her BS degree from the College of Agriculture at Mississippi State University in Ornamental Horticulture in 1975. Sabine Parish became familiar with her talents in 1977 when she became horticulturalist for Hodges Gardens’ greenhouses and added responsibility for the entire gardens from 1979-1991. She was responsible for 3800 rose bushes in three gardens! Those were also the days that many people re member fondly because of the 50,000 tulips in the spring and 2,000 naturalized daffodils. She has always brought pleasure to people through plants.
