Many Thanks to All our volunteers!
18-May-2011Many thanks to ALL our volunteers May 6 & 7, 2011!
No event can ever be successful without a strong corps of dedicated and committed volunteers. The Peel Compton Foundation wants to recognize all the many willing volunteers who helped the numerous programs and events during National Public Garden Days, May 6 & 7. Whether helping set up plants for the sale, guiding folks on the trails for The Gardens Uncorked Too!, or helping children learn more about nature, all of these folks made it possible for the young and old to enjoy learning more about their native Ozark heritage and habitat.
