Auction Includes Bidding Battles and Bargains
Just
about 'everything under the sun' was at the auction.
Jim and Pat set a brisk pace and everyone enjoyed
the good-natured bidding battles. At the end, just
about everyone left with treasures and bargains. Some
of the more unique items were flamingoes, a copper
tabletop fountain, a young girl bronze statue, a hand-painted
mailbox, quilted picture frames, water lily tapestries,
a metal cattail sculpture, a floating alligator head,
an automatic fish feeder, crazy pots, and dwarf banana
plants. Thanks to our generous retailers for their
contributions and to all
who donated and participated.

Pond-O-Rama 2008
What a terrific tour! Water features are getting
better every year. We had a good turnout and the weather
was pleasant despite a few brief showers. Photos of
each will be available shortly. Stay tuned!

Pond of the Month: July
Once they'd built their pond, Edie and Rob Smith
enjoyed relaxing outside watching the birds and animals
so much, that they decided to stay in St. Louis instead
of moving to Tucson as they'd originally planned.

Jewel Box
There was plenty to do for all those who turned out
to plant the tropicals in June. We planted the bare-rooted
water lilies in all the ponds, retrieved, divided and
planted tropicals from the greenhouse, and three hours
later, celebrated a job well-done at Imo's. See a few
photos.

Cherry Blossom Pond Tour
Sunday was the perfect day for our spring Cherry
Blossom Tour with three beautiful Asian-themed ponds.
There were lanterns, dragons, azaleas, buddhas, bonsai
trees, bamboo, Japanese gardens, koi and even a tea
house, and, of course, lots of good fellowship!
