DEDICATION

SPRING, 2005

 Students and guests gathered for the dedication of the Coenosium Rock Garden.

 Van Bobbit was the Master of Ceremonies.

 Steve Hildebrand was introduced.

 I cut the ribbon, officially opening the garden.

 Van presented me with a plaque for me and Dianne. She was ill and could not attend the ceremony.

 The entrance stone is flanked by Picea abies 'Gold Drift'. An appropriate choice not only for the beauty they will add to this scene, but also because we discovered and introduced this new cultivar ourselves.
