As Thanksgiving approaches the staff at Clark Gardens is thankful to our many friends and supporters of the gardens. Our membership and volunteer program has grown in both numbers and strengths. In 2010 we will celebrate our 10th anniversary. This would not have been possible without your support. Thank you!

BOOtanical Festival saw a record number of attendees. Over 1200 people attended the festival. The admission fee to enjoy the Halloween fun was a nonperishable food item.
