INDIVIDUALS ~+~+~

Erin Rene' Douglas

June and Buck  Noel
(Sylvia's parents who picked up donations and also donated a huge flat of beautiful white alyssums that are along the front of all four flowerbeds)

Kathy Sherwood 
(excellent and kind advice on planting and some tips on seasonal items ~ encouragement & knowledge ~ so appreciated.....She also came by the garden to help and guide us...She is so wonderful!!..)

City of Eureka Parks Employees
for their positive comments and use of their hose, water and Hula hoe. 

Kaylynne Hartley  she is going to water every Wednesday.  I'm so grateful to her.  She is already very busy already with her business, The Hairport, but she offered as she loves the park.  Kaylynne has watered, April, May, June, July, August and September.  She is wonderful!!!

Sue Moran and Saundra
of the Eureka Sequoia Garden Club:  I called Sue one night and the next morning she came and helped me plant.  She also helped me decide which plants go where.... She put in several hours of very hard work.

Allison Sousa  she is going to water the gardens while we are in China during May.  It's a huge comfort to know she'll be there and the gardens will have love and attention. 


Mr and Mrs King owners of Cherry Blossom Bakery.  They came by one evening on a walk and chatted with me.  They gave me $20.00 for allysums..  The next morning I bought $19.87 worth of them and got them planted.  What a sweet and generous thing to do.... I was putting off getting the flowers as I thought I would wait for a sale. Wonderful folks!

Judith Rucker ~ Judith is a neighbor who has been very positive and encouraging.  She has helps several times by weeding.  She is a "can do" person with great ideas and wonderful attitude!  She donated a water fountain in the garden area as a memorial for her last husband.  A real mover and shaker.... !

DANIEL AND NEVA SWENSON:  They are photographers who came into the garden quite a few times and spoke to David and I.  They are members of the Moose Lodge.... they thought of the idea of asking the Moose to help us with next year's financing..

MOOSE LODGE ~ WE CANNOT THANK THE MOOSE LODGE ENOUGH FOR THE AMAZING AND GENEROUS DONATION OF $1000.00.  They gave the money to Sue at Greenlot Nursery as a credit amount.   We are humbled and so pleased at the incredible faith they have shown by such a large financial gift.  We are trying to spend the money frugally and wisely so the garden will have long term benefits.
