Seven create beautiful fairy gardens

Seven members of the Burnett Garden Club gathered at the Spirit Lake home of Kris H on May 14 with empty containers. We got our hands a bit dirty but came away with the most wonderful little gardens for the wee ones.

Our thanks goes out to Kris for hosting and leading a great workshop (despite a broken arm) and to Alice and Linnea for the delicious refreshments.

Next on the agenda are the sign planting and fund raiser plant sale. Watch this site for more details.
