Last month we reported that the founder of the Lab at Lake Highlands-become-Lab at Lakewood, Melissa Wright, would manage the world-class, state-of-the-art, national-attention-garnering Rory Meyers Children’s Adventure Garden at the Arboretum. She managed it for like a month, and now, she notes, she is done with the arboretum and is planning a “last-ditch” effort to revive The Lab.
Shortly after announcing the closing of The Lab, Wright shared with great enthusiasm her new role as Children’s Garden manager.
Yesterday, via her blog, she reported that she plans to reopen The Lab. She apparently has parted ways with the arboretum.
“I have heard this type of thing is usually called, a ‘last-ditch’ effort,” she writes. “But after watching the debacle that is the Arboretum attempting to further the informal science education model, I figure it’s what I must do.”
Ow.
Nothing official from the arboretum, but it is safe to assume they might have a position open.
