The Master Gardeners just dedicated a special bench to Bob Fountain who was instrumental in the planning, planting, trails and maintenance of Camellia Cove. He recently retired and we are grateful for all of his hard work.
The November 2021 monthly meeting included a very informative tour of the Camellia Cove. All of the Camellias in the cove have been recently tagged and a new map will be posted in the cove soon. It was a lovely day for a walk in the park.
