REMEMBERING SOMEONE SPECIAL<br />
We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.<br />
– Abraham Lincoln<br />
When there seem to be more thorns than<br />
blossoms in your life, we invite you to The<br />
<strong>Gardens</strong> to smell the roses, take a walk or learn<br />
about plants. We also hope you will remember<br />
special moments you may have shared here—a<br />
school or family photo, a Sunday stroll, a<br />
wedding or a picnic—and consider honoring a<br />
loved one or commemorating that occasion with<br />
a memorial gift. By investing in The <strong>Gardens</strong>,<br />
either through membership or charitable gifts,<br />
you are ensuring that this beautiful place will<br />
remain a vital asset of our community and<br />
will continue to teach people about nature and<br />
the environment. Please contact Olivia Alison<br />
about making a gift that will make a difference<br />

of The <strong>Gardens</strong>. Look in the July/August issue for our tribute to Bill.
