Manito Park a blessing

Thu., Oct. 4, 2012

I wish to extend enormous gratitude and honor to the creators and purveyors of all of the indescribable beauty at Manito Park. I have had the pure joy of frequenting Manito Park for my whole life. I have taken my science classes to Manito, as it is the most extraordinary laboratory (especially for using magnifying glasses to spot bees and to visualize the makings of flowers and plants).

I am always amazed and humbled by the meticulousness and attention to the details of care given the gardens. And, the devotion of the care providers truly is phenomenal!

With this year being the 100th anniversary of Duncan Garden, it is so appropriate to give thanks and to celebrate the tremendous blessing of beauty and life that is provided for us all at Manito!
