Unfortunately someone does not see the work and beauty these ladies work so hard at on their own time. I know they were at the gardens during the heat, in the morning and evening hours, laying mulch and pulling weeds, putting in new plants and watering. They are also putting in gardens at the historical museum.

Two weeks ago, they put in signs telling the history of the gardens that Harold Putthoff made and signs naming the different plants.

Now the signs of the garden history have been destroyed and some plants through the summer were destroyed.

I grew up here and have always taken pride in what we have. To the person or persons who do not have enough to do but destroy this garden, maybe you should stop and offer your help and see what a hard job it is to be a Master Gardner who cares.
