Spreading Holiday Joy (and Green Thumbs!)

Our celebration of National Poinsettia Day was a spectacular success, thanks entirely to the wonderful Master Gardeners!

We extend our sincerest gratitude for them taking the time to share their deep knowledge, covering everything from the Poinsettia's captivating history to making sure they thrive all season long.

The most heartwarming part? Thanks to these amazing volunteers, every member left with a gorgeous Poinsettia of their own. It’s a beautiful reminder of the power of community and volunteering. Thank you for making this holiday season a little brighter for all of us!
