On a beautiful fall day, November 15, 2023, about 14 of us went to Betty Blackmond’s home to see her wonderful gardens. It was a delightful experience as well as a learning experience. Betty had gone to a lot of work labeling most of her trees, shrubs, and plants. She passed out lists of the plants in numerical order and we were to guess how often the plants were watered or if they were watered this past summer. It was a contest that was won by Pat Campbell and Kim McGregor in a tie. A lot of fun. She had landscaped all levels of the acreage around her home. She and her husband did all the work, moving rocks, sand, gravel, and put in an amazing pond and waterfalls behind the house. Needless to say they have spent many hours over the last 10 years.
