Check Out the Quilt Raffle Winners!

With Master Gardener, Dorothy Weeks leading the raffle project, the Quilt Raffle drawing happened right on schedule Sunday at 3:30pm.

Dorothy made the first prize applique quilt and its proud new owner is Kathy Antaya!

The second prize of an original watercolor painting by Gert Hickman, one of our stunning local artists, is now in the care of Jason Thompke!

And third prize, an autographed clay pot filled with blooming houseplants, will now be cared for by another wonderful Master Gardener, Katie Graham!

Leila Arboretum would like to thank Dorothy Weeks, the Calhoun County Master Gardener Association, Springfield Landscape, and everyone who helped by buying and/or selling tickets! What a great fundraiser to kick off the summer!
