Spring is in the air, but there is at least one garden-related item from last growing season to think about. In the 2021 gardening season Julie Deering, Rick Diamant, Ben Edidin, Svetlana Grobman and Rebecca Smith helped take care of the plants near the entrance of the sanctuary building. With all the outside services and events we had, the congregation had more opportunities than usual to appreciate the flowers.
Thanks to all who have helped to keep the memorial garden looking good!
