They also planned and worked on roadside prairies, including the cloverleaf project at Hwy 41 and 144, and a project on Hwy 51. Marian designed and aided in writing a booklet for the Historic Grignon Mansion and designed many herb gardens all projects of the Paper Valley Garden Club that she was an active member of for 10 years. Carlton preceded Marian in death in 1987.
