The Bash for Bartram 4/19/2014

The weather was iffy and the skies threatened rain, but our Bashers were lucky and the precipitation held off until the close of the event.  The Garden Club of Switzerland set up their area near the entrance to Alpine Groves Park, next to our Butterfly Garden.  There, they could guide visitors through and describe the plants.  There were plenty of children's activities too.
