Beautiful Saturday at the Garden

Phoenix summer temps have arrived, but that did not diminish the activity in the Garden last Saturday, June 8, 2013! With the close of the season, volunteers performed a Gift Shop inventory and packed everything. The trailer is scheduled to be removed but don't worry! A new entry building is on the drawing board so stay tuned for more information. The summer tea ceremony was a delightful way to escape the heat and experience serenity as our guests discovered that morning. Our terrific supporters, the Greater Phoenix Pond Society, held their June meeting that morning, then enjoyed a Docent tour of the Garden. And since it was Saturday, volunteer gardeners were found throughout the Garden. You too can enjoy the beauty of getting your hands dirty by joining our volunteer team! This is one of the only times you can stray from the path and it will be all right so please contact the office to learn more. We also welcomed several guests who stopped over after attending the Great Arizona Puppet Theater show at our neighbor's across the street! Everyone enjoyed the day working hard or enjoying tea at the Japanese Friendship Garden of Phoenix!
