Heavy winds this week brought a deja-vu sight as the tarps were lifted from the center pathway at the gardens! Luckily discovered by Brigit and Oksana, it's hopefully back in place to stay! Assistance and photography thanks to Jack Seery!

Well, the pathway is restored - better than ever! Thanks to members Oksana, Judi, Natalie, Jon and Brigit, after initial prep by Terra and family, we have "safe passage" through the gardens!

Recent winds have torn through the neatly laid out tarp coverings on the garden pathways and sent them flying. Here some of the remnants are still in place where others had to be rescued, cut into manageable lengths, rolled, folded and stored for future use. Here committee member Sandy Jorgensen and Jack Seery are collecting and rolling up the final piece. Now to brainstorm next steps!!
