Dear Friends,
We continue to feel our way through the challenges this pandemic presents.
In 2020 we modified the Fall Garden Show & hosted a socially-distant Fall Plant Sale. The protocol learning curve was challenging but it’s rewarding to find safe ways to connect, learn and share with like-minded people.
After the success of more modified Shows in 2021, we’re hoping for a modified Garden Show this spring. Beyond that, we have even greater hopes. Fingers crossed 🙂
Wishing you all good health and hoping to see you soon,
Carol Ann Elliot,
Show Coordinator, View Royal Garden Club
