Master Gardeners Say Thanks!

The Master Gardener Fair Design Committee for 2013 wish to extend heartfelt thanks to the many folks who gave of their time, materials, and expertise, making our presence at the fair this year a footloose joy for all who passed our way.

There were the demonstrations ranging from good and bad bug ID to composting to best veggie gardening practices. Sunset Building Supply on Lopez, courtesy of June Arnold, loaned us garden décor items for our area and reduced pricing on soil and plants. Browne Home Center loaned us native plants and sedums. Ace Hardware donated plants for display. Wild Bird Bamboo loaned impressive bamboo for display. The San Juan Island Garden Club covered the cost of two banners for the Flower Hall. The San Juan Island Master Gardeners bought three other banners.

Special thanks to Teddy Deane for designing the banners, especially the welcoming banner donned with the smiling faces of some of the MG demonstration garden volunteers. Cattle Point Rock and Top Soil and Devon Foss for the loan of three large hardscape items. A loud cheer to the San Juan County Fair staff for their support of our larger presence and their help in all things large and small. To the Master Gardeners who gave of their time and sweat equity in the months leading up to the fair and all the work done in set up and take down, you know who you are.

Cheers and thanks,
MG Fair Design Committee,
