. A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/88usrcg . .Pat Raeder wasnt about to let age and health challenges keep her from gardening.
.Although she and her husband, George, recently moved and gave up the renowned garden they had created over three decades, she was determined to keep her hands in the soil. They had a greenhouse built at their new home in Bath Township, where she could turn her attention to indoor gardening.
.Sadly, she never got the chance. The greenhouse was finished just a week and a half before her death Wednesday night of multiple myeloma.
. She was 76. .Mrs. Raeder was diagnosed in May but had been feeling run-down since the beginning of the year, a symptom that was initially attributed to stress from the move, her friend and former neighbor Mary June Starts said.
.The Raeders were well-known in gardening circles for the 5-acre property they developed at their previous home in Cuyahoga Falls, which Starts described as just gorgeous. The couple had created some 40 distinct garden areas, lush with plants that included more than 500 varieties of hostas and decorated with garden sculptures made by Mrs. Raeder and wood structures created by her husband.
.Mrs. Raeder was the daughter of a plant pathologist who grew a variety of fruits on a 40-acre property, so she came from a growing background, George Raeder said. She had done some gardening before they moved to the Cuyahoga Falls home in 1980, but it was there that her interest flourished.
.They started with a few perennial beds, and it simply grew and grew and grew, he said.
. snip .The garden gave Mrs. Raeder a place to showcase her sculpture as well as her gardening prowess. An artist who graduated in 1957 from Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Institute of Art, she taught art in the late 1950s in the Bedford schools and developed an interest in ceramics when her husband surprised her one Christmas with a potters wheel and kiln. That interest led her to sculpture, and she created artwork for her own garden, for her friends and for sale.
