Saturday, April 9 at 10 am Mari Lynn Haugh, of the Madison Herb Society, will be here for another herb class.  Her series of classes has been a favorite, with her often speaking to a standing room only crowd.  This year her emphasis will be on planning and design of herb gardens.  This is the perfect time of year to start thinking about planting or expanding your herb garden.  And this is the perfect year to do it.  America’s Best has more herbs to choose from than ever before and all our herbs and vegetable transplants are being naturally grown.  We are using our own customized soil mix (which you can buy!), compost tea fertilizer and biological controls for insects.  One more way America’s Best is providing kid-friendly and pet-safe plants. So grab a friend and come on out Saturday morning.  You’ll be glad you did.

Monday evening, April 4, Bonnie Marshall, our Special Events Coordinator and Fundraiser Director passed away unexpectedly with her family at her side.  She will be sorely missed by us all.  We loved her dearly.

She was our everything.  The spunky little redhead who bounced into the room.  A joy who filled the hearts of those who knew her.  The spark that ignited ideas and excitement.  She laughed with us, at us and for us.  And did she love to cook!  Our time spent together was immeasurable.  No one will ever replace her.

Visitation will be Thursday afternoon, April 7 from 2 – 4 at Holy Cross Lutheran Church, 2670 Milwaukee Street in Madison. The funeral service will follow at 4.
