It’s time for a shameless plug! Next Sunday, July 21, from 4-6 pm, my garden is the venue for a Garden Party Fundraiser for Chatham Conservation Foundation. If you’re a member or are on their mailing list, you’ve probably gotten the invitation already, but if not, you are definitely invited. There will be a garden map and plant lists for you to wander around and enjoy the garden, light refreshments and beverages, and a couple of short speeches.

There are still tickets available ($100 per person) here, and it would be fantastic to see you there and to get your support for conservation.

In addition, there is a silent auction, which is already open for bidding, with two items: a garden consultation by my, and a tree consultation by arborist Craig Schneeberger. You can bid here.

The garden is looking quite lovely this year – with a mild winter and plenty of rain, everything is growing vigorously. Hope you can make it!
