We thank the volunteers who made the Gardening Marathon a tremendous success.

More than 104 staff and volunteers donated over 450 hours during the Marathon! (Send in your hours, if you didn't sign in.) Some members donated and/or made food also to keep the workers going. Tri Chi Sorority brought 16 young women to volunteer. Staff members who are already doing extra jobs organized crews and worked long hours. We apologize for not thanking everyone individually here or to anyone we may have overlooked. Donations and pledges are starting to come in.

For the hand made quilt, the Quilt drawing brought in over $3000, making it a great success too!

The volunteers, donors, and community have stepped up to show how valuable the Arboretum is to them and we all appreciate it.
