The Ferguson house gardens are coming to life.  A new Executive Director, Lori Arguelles, is beginning work at the Foundation on April 18.  And the Spring calendar is filled with events of visiting government officials, donors and the public.

There is an urgent need to whip the house gardens into shape. Please be a companion to Mary Lee and/or Betsy by joining us on the days when we will be in the garden:

Betsy midday Thursday April 7
Mary Lee afternoon Sunday, April 10
Betsy on midday Wednesday, April 13  and April 18
Mary Lee midday on April 20 
Or give Doris a call on a day that is convenient to you.

So check your schedules and get out your gardening gloves for Spring clean up in Alice’s Country Place Farmhouse Gardens.  Doris Sharp’s tea and crumpets will keep up your stamina and the view is sure to restore your soul after a long winter’s nap.
