Wreath of the Day – Family Matters

Past President Ann Kneisel has four lovely children, who have children, who have children. And just recently, the very first great-granddaughter made her appearance, after the births of many boys. Ann ordered a wreath for her grandson, the father of said princess, and asked if we could make reference to the baby girl in the design without going over-the-top pink.  The decorator found little wooden toys, angels on rocking chairs, and attached white balls with the wires aloft to resemble balloons, as further playful accents.


Wednesday, July 10 – Saturday, July 20 – Botanical Alaska: Wildflowers, Wildlife, and Spectacular Landscapes

Join Pacific Horticulture for an Alaskan adventure July 10 – 20. Our journey takes us from Anchorage to Seward, traveling along the scenic Cook Inlet and Chugach Mountains, then up the Denali Highway to Denali National Park, and inland to Fairbanks. We’ll see stately forests, beautiful gardens, streamside wildflowers, and dwarf tundra plants on the mountaintops. Experienced naturalist David Wimpfheimer will lead our expedition accompanied by John Burns, a botanist with years of Alaska expertise and other local guides.
