Final Montesian Gardens Meeting of 2015

Montesian Garden members held their final 2015 meeting and have completed 18 seasons of planting and caring for the various plots.  Each plot is signed with the donor or caretakers names, so if you have enjoyed walking and looking through the Gardens take a moment and give a word of praise and encouragement to them for all their hard work.  John Beckwith trims and cuts down damaged trees as well as trims around all the beds where the mowers can’t go.  The watering system is kept running by Ed Koca.  The Village employees do a good job mowing the grass.  Harold Babler keeps an eye on day-to-day needs.  The Leon and Margaret Gempeler family donated a lovely bench located on the south end near the ball park.  Karen Ballin serves as our Secretary. 
We welcome anyone wishing to plant a plot, there are several available for 2016.  Many positive comments are received from visitors to the Gardens and the Veteran’s Memorial. 
Our next meeting is April 12, 2016, at 7:00 p.m., at the Monticello Village Hall. 
<i>Karen Brugger, Chairman</i>
