Love those Rhododendrons!

THANK YOU! To all who participated in the Mount Laurel Garden Tour! It was so very enjoyable and the gardens were all so beautiful! I hope we can do it again next year. What a delightful day! THANKS!

The Mount Laurel Garden Club planted a Kwansan cherry tree at the Mt. Laurel Library on Earth Day. It looks like it might get some blossoms even this year. Gloria read a poem about trees and we had some beautiful harmonica music. It was a nice arbor day celebration!

If only the Primrose would stay looking this pretty all summer long! Alas, they are past their prime, but they will come back next year. More on Primrose care
