SUMMARY:Virtual Garden Party FUN-raiser!
DESCRIPTION:July 30\, 2020 – THANK YOU! \nThe Garden Party has inspired a total of $30\,110 in donations for our hospice gardens and for programs.  \nThank you to all our hospice and garden party friends for giving so generously to help the hospice and its gardens.  While we missed sampling little sandwiches\, lovely scones and the sweet sounds of an orchestra playing in the beautiful surroundings of a colorful garden\, we did enjoy gathering virtually with everyone for the month of June.  The shared photos and recipes were wonderful and we look forward meeting everyone in the future in the garden. \nAt this point we have added plantings between the bedroom patios\, purchased patio furniture and set up hoses for watering.  Our next project will be to clean up the wooded area behind the hospice to create a pleasant view from each bedroom.  We will post pictures as the work continues. \nWe were thrilled to receive a special gift of $10\,000 during the Garden Party campaign from Joe Rafih\, well known member of our Valley community and a second gift of $10\,000 from a private donor.  All the gifts from the Garden Party will go along way to support the hospice gardens and programs. \nPictured in their own garden: Joe and Rauda Rafih\, Wolfville\, NS \n  \nVirtual Garden Party FUN-raiser!   June 2020 \nThe COVID 19 pandemic has brought about new ways of doing things so\, to get around the challenges that it presents\, we are hosting a traditional garden party in an unusual way. \nTo raise the funds required to continue working on the grounds\, patios\, and gardens we are throwing a “virtual garden party”.
