25 Years And Counting

25 Years And Counting
Wow. Who’d a thunk it? Twenty-five years have  flown by in a whisper. In twenty-five years we have  had the pleasure of working with so many  wonderful people and had the opportunity to create  and care for so many beautiful gardens.
Yesterday we celebrated by donating and  dedicating a new Children’s Garden at the Hospice   Caring Cottage in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Hospice   Caring has been helping terminally ill  adults, children and their families by providing practical and emotional support when they need it the most. It has been an honor to partner with Hospice Caring for many, many years and to be able to create this garden for them.
The garden has a stone labyrinth, shrubs that will bloom throughout the year, and evergreens to create a sense of privacy. A butterfly house, bird house, moon gate and statue of a turtle will be added later. The garden was dedicated to the memory of David and Helen Allentuck, Bruce Allentuck’s grandparents.
Montgomery County Executive Ike Legget and City of Gaithersburg Mayor Sidney Katz presented the company with a proclamation honoring the company’s twenty-five years and dedication of the garden. Lastly, our team gathered for very proud company photographs.
A company does not make it twenty-five years without a ton of support from a lot of people. Thank you to our fabulous customers, staff and partners for helping us get to this milestone.
