Margaret Gilchrist Gibson passed away on November 28, 2022 at the age of 100. Mrs. Gibson and her twin daughters, Jean Mason and Joan Black, were one of the original families involved in the creation of Washington Youth Garden in the 1970s.
Mrs. Gibson and her family lived in the Arboretum neighborhood for many decades until they moved to North Carolina in 2020. They played an active role in building and shaping the Arboretum community through their involvement with the Arboretum Neighborhood Association and Arboretum Recreation Center. We are grateful to Mrs. Gibson for her efforts to build community around the National Arboretum.
Mrs. Gibson left a wonderful legacy. More than 50 years later, FONA’s Washington Youth Garden is still going strong and engages more than 7,000 DC students each year!
