Thanks to Jane Hendrix
On Monday 16 August 2011, some members of the Club met with Jane Hendrix at the Clubhouse at Breckenridge Golf Course to thank her for the many, many occasions on which she has shared her Blue River garden with visitors on the SCGC Garden Tour.
Jane Hendrix's glorious garden, always so full of color and beautiful plants, was the subject of a painting by artist Marty Rohde, which was selected for this year's Garden Tour poster (see below). As a tribute to Jane's expertise and support, we presented the original painting to Jane, instead of auctioning it off, as we normally do.

Our 21st Garden Tour was a terrific event (take a look at our 'Tour' page) - beautiful gardens, lots of sunshine and considerable support from our community and visitors to the County. A big thank you to the Chairman of the Garden Tour Committee, Beverly Breakstone, for all her hard work and imagination, and to those who assisted her. Sheri Goff did a great job with publicity and managed to get articles into the Summit Daily News on a number of occasions. Donna Skupien created our beautiful poster using the artwork of talented artist, Marty Rohde. Marty's painting depicts a scene in the garden of Jane Hendrix who has shared her garden with us for many years. A new dimension this year was artists painting in the gardens and we are grateful for their time and participation. We thank the NRO and others in our community for promoting the event, and especially our generous sponsors to whom we are most grateful, namely:

However, none of this would have been possible without the wonderful gardens and gardeners of Summit County. We thank them all so much for allowing us to share in the beauty surrounding their homes. It was a magical day for those who saw them.
