Salford/Advent Garden Update, February 29

​Greetings fellow gardeners. this past Sunday was our Annual fundraiser luncheon. We had a great turn out. Almost all of the organizations we donate to were able to attend.  When you hear their stories, it is unbelievable the great need that is out there in our neighborhoods.  This year I was asking for $9,000 to help with the cost of a new shed.  We smashed that number out of the ballpark.  After all the counting we ended up with $11,621. Wow that is incredible, I am overjoyed, humbled and speechless.  After a very stressful week it all came together in a terrific way. Thank you to all of you who donated to this mission. An extra special thank you to Donna Derstine, Donna Barndt and Lory Blank for their extra effort on short notice.  I will be sending updates on when we will start to work in the garden.  I have a list of priorities we just need a few nice spring weekends and we are off and running/planting.  Steve
