I think Ric and I will try to get my parents down to see that when I get home. Dad is having more stay in his PJ's days so we will have to get a "good" day to take them.

Let me know if you go--I should go see it too.

Hey Judy, So nice to hear from you.
Sorry to say that I haven't been involved in any of the YGC activities of late.
In the past it has been very nice. Come early for the best results. There are many very nice plants dug up from members gardens plus they have many annuals. There is a white elephant table and some garden art and gardening items for sale. They have raffle tickets for sale, last year Ric won a Martin House from one of the raffles.
Do you know that there is a Plant Swap at Critters house on May 7th?
