Mrs. Wenz Irving always delighted in her gardens as well as the precious time she shared with bible studies in her homes along with church attendance. For many years she was prominent in both flower club associations as well as ladies golf associations. She and her first husband Norman traveled the country first researching and photographing plants and then presenting a slide production "Plants of the Bible". In addition to being the recipient of many accolades for her prize winning floral arrangements and this program, she was often featured in news articles as a wonderful hostess at her previous homes in CT.
