 | Emmy Ogden, a 49 year member of Hortulus, generously shared her creative talents and volunteered her time teaching floral design and horticulture workshops to individuals, garden clubs, the altar guild and the Garden Education Center of Greenwich. Emmy’s intelligence and relaxed, engaging manner made her a natural mentor and teacher whose influence remains impactful to this day. Emmy passed away in July 2021. She had a lovely spirit and shining blue eyes and she is sorely missed by all who knew her.
