They do have the benefit of lots of great volunteers and experience in fundraising, etc. Money is always such a concern though and I know Van Dusen has just spent a lot on working towards a new entry, layout and buildings. This stresses me out so. <br /><br />Aagaard - small world. I too was a Van Dusen volunteer. I worked in seed collectors, teaching assistants and, of course, the plant sale. Can't remember exactly when but it was probably 2 - 3 years ago. and you?Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-34396642950433320652010-07-16T00:33:13.960-03:002010-07-16T00:33:13.960-03:00I've met Rosie; she's a joy!!

I got an email about this today. I sure hope VanDusen Gardens is able to take it over. I think they would bring the consistency that the plants and animals need.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15152576863110442101noreply@blogger.com
