A generous donation was made by the family of Ms. Janice Kruse to support our community outreach work. Ms. Kruse loved hummingbirds and nature and visited our garden in September 2018. She sadly passed away on January 6, 2019. We are so very grateful to Ms. Kruse and her family for this memorial donation!
