The Progressive CEOS held their June meeting at the Greenbrier State Forest. They first started meeting there in the summer of 2020 after studying a program on WV state parks and forests. It is an opportunity to enjoy West Virginia’s beautiful scenery and recreation areas.
Following a short lesson on Afghanistan, the home of WVU Extension international exchange student, members enjoyed a lesson prepared by extension agents Natasha Harris and Jesica Sheets on Floriography: The Language of Flowers. Each month has a designated flower and meaning. For example, July is delphinium which stands for cheerfulness and goodwill.
