FirstHealth Hospice Gardens – a Special Place

We had a great learning experience with our meeting at the FirstHealth Hospice, presented by Susan Zanetti, followed by an inspirational tour of their gardens, tended by their volunteer gardeners!

Your reporter was supposed to take pictures as Dolores Muller was out but got so involved in the presentation and fabulous refreshments that she forgot!   Mea culpa.

Our semi-traditional March hostesses, Sharon Lawson, Cav Peterson and Char Rohr provided beautiful Irish treats.   

We confess to cheating by sharing a picture of last year’s table.  Apologies!    Pat
