Gardens, public and private, are important to our quality of life, in every sense of the word, as you may know. I am sure that your community association is aware of garden groups in your community.

We would truly appreciate if you could past on the attached invitation to them inviting them to participate and celebrate what gardens do for your community, by organizing an activity in your community.

Yew tree up for grabs

Hi all, 68 Pontiac is undergoing some major work in the next few weeks, and there is a small Yew tree in the front yard that we have not had time to transplant. If anyone would like to take it, please help yourself in digging it out, today or tomorrow would be good days to do so. We are keeping the maple tree though.

Thanks! Erin
