Merci! Gracias! Thanks!
What a wide variety of items retailers and members donated for our auction! Thanks to them, and to all who contributed to our auction fun! Auctioneer Pat Tosie skillfully urged bids higher. Many members helped it run smoothly. And, of course, purchasers were indispensible. We raised over $1400 for the wonderful water lily display in front of the Jewel Box at Forest Park.

Pond-O-Rama

What beautiful gardens and water features were on our 10th annual Pond-O-Rama tour this year! Visitors commented on how friendly the hosts and hostesses were and on the wonderful variety of ponds and waterfalls. They, in turn, spoke of how lovely the visitors were. Thanks to all of you!


Jewel Box Work Day

Fourteen members, plus two potential members, turned out on May 8 to haul hardy water plants from the mud-bottom pond, divide, plant, fertilize and place them in the Jewel Box lily pools. See our photos!
