About
twenty-five people came to tour the lily ponds at Tower
Grove Park Sunday. Another great 'Pam event'! She started
us off with a variety of drinks; Ben Nowak and Steve Hogenmiller
gave us plant maps; and they were soon explaining the changes
to the pond, telling about what is planted where and pointing
out some wildlife. Thanks to Bob Temper for the first two
photos, and that of the mallard, and especially the final
photo of the green heron!
