Visit from UT Master Gardeners


On Sunday, we had a busload of 50 visitors from the UT (Tennessee) Master Gardeners! They were a wonderful group of people and left us with a great gift basket full of jams, soaps, books, windchimes, fans, etc. A truly spectacular gift and put together with much thought and care. Thank you all so much and thanks for making the trip!
