What a great tea! Once again the Hellebore Tea was filled with good conversation and lots of fun.

It would not have been a success without all of the people who donated their time and energy to make sure it came together. On behalf of the Lake Wilderness Foundation and myself, I would like to thank all of the people who worked so hard to make the tea happen – The Late Bloomers Garden Club, the city of Maple Valley, Tannley at the lodge, table hostesses, Girl Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, Maple Valley Youth Orchestra, Tahoma High School Arboretum interns and all the businesses and people who donated items for the silent auction. Leihs Gifts, Black Diamond, Jon R Throne of Countryside Floral and Gardening, Issaquah, Pinnacle Physical Therapy, Maple Valley and Covington, City Perk, Enumclaw and Maple Valley, Pauline’s Nail Salon and Spa, Kent, CJ’s Bakery, Black Diamond, Massage Envy, Covington, Stan Parente Salon, Maple Valley, Costco, Covington, Nancy Clair Guth of Artistic Garden Concepts, Marianne Binetti, Late Bloomers Garden Club, Myrt Rogneby, Patty Davis, Marianne Brown, Lori Koyamatsu, Jeanne Morgan, Chris Neorr, Lynette Case, Maria Van Zanen, Sharon Yeaman, Moria Mackey-Fieth, Gloria Broadwater, Carolyn Myers, Jeanne Keogh, Barbara Nagel, Cindy Ostermann, Kate McWiggins and Trish Bottorff.

Without you this event would not have been such a wonderful success!

The Lake Wilderness Arboretum Foundation very much appreciates the funds raised from this event. The money is important to help to make the arboretum such a beautiful place to visit and enjoy.

Thank you,
