Happy Birthday to our entire Garden Family.   I still sit here in awe when I realize all the Garden has become.  I can't express enough thanks to the Garden Keepers, our Leadership Team and each and every member for the contributions they make towards the Garden's success.  It may have been MY dream, but it is the work and dedication of others that make the Garden what it has become.

 

Each time I receive an email message with a special message of friendship, or someone telling me what kind of difference the Garden has made in their lives, I become teary eyed, and then I look at my own life and the impact the Garden has had on me.

 

July is a big month for me, the Garden celebrates it birthday on July 1, my youngest daughter turned ten on July 8, my oldest daughter turned thirteen on July 16, and Monty and I celebrated our fourth year anniversary on July 18.  With that said, these are the most important assets in my life, my three daughters, I also have an 11 year old daughter who celebrates her birthday in January, Monty, my soul mate and best friend, and the Garden.  The Garden is not only a dream come true, but within it's gates, I find the closest friends I have, friends I wouldn't trade for the world.  I treasure these friendships and will always hold them close to my heart.

 

As the Garden celebrates it's birthday, I want to express my deepest thanks to each and every one of our members for bringing so much love and friendship into my life and the lives of so many others.

 

Love 'n Hugs,
