AAS COMPETITION GARDEN WALK: FIRST PLACE!!!
A WHIMSICAL GARDEN: SHOE-BEE-DEW!
As part of the 2023 AAS Competition, Friends of Noelridge and Greenhouse Staff hosted this themed garden walk on August 8th to showcase the All-American Selection Garden with winning plant varieties displayed in and around shoes (many donated by local celebrities) and bee decor. Kids were able to ‘plant’ their own pair of shoes and leave with the tire caterpillar in the updated Children’s Garden area. Turnout was great and we were awarded FIRST PLACE !
And it's ALL because of our dedicated staff & volunteers.From conception to completion, our talented & hard working volunteers can be so proud of themselves. Thank you!
Thank you also to our sponsors: Great America Financial Services Corp, Fleet Farm, Bass Farms, Blooms Garden Center, Theisens, Natural Whimsey, Weiss Home Improvement, Cedar River Garden Center
