Whoever makes a garden, has never worked alone;
The rain has always found it, the sun has always known.
The wind has blown across it, and helped to scatter seeds.
Whoever makes a garden, has, oh, so many friends;
The glory of the morning, the dew when daylight ends,
The wind, and rain, and sunshine And dew , and fertile sod,
And he who makes a garden, works hand in hand with God.

The design entitled "A Design in the Oriental Manner" by our own Sandra Menendez won a blue ribbon and the Table Artistry Award at the Coastal Fair flower show in October, 2003.
