Lois has always been a wildflower enthusiast. She took part in a summer biology program after the tenth grade in which her class of other bio nerds travelled all over the Eastern United States visiting colleges and universities with environmental programs and began learning about wild things. She became a biology teacher in Fairfax County in 1974 and taught at the middle school and high school level for 38 years.
In 1987 Lois was a finalist for Teacher of the Year. Once she retired she began in earnest to develop the land around her Lake Jackson home into a native plant shade garden which she delights in sharing with anyone who will come visit. Nancy Arrington has been a valued mentor in Lois’ pursuit of a well diversified yet adequately abundant landscape. The other passion for Lois is the teaching of Evolution through Natural Selection, and she presents her PowerPoint originally made for the edification of her Merrimac Farm Chapter of the Virginia Master Naturalists.
