2023 update-
"I want to thank you for the wonderful donation of seeds that you sent in March of this year, and I apologize for being so late in saying how very grateful I am for your generosity and support of Holy Cross Anglican Church’s involvement in the Mid-City Community Garden and our efforts to encourage gardening through our quarterly Mid-City Seed Swap. Your help in these efforts not only furthers our work in these two outreach programs but it is also such a great encouragement to us as we continue to promote gardening and an appreciation of the great outdoors and the beauty and wonder of creation. Thank you very much!
Sincerely,
Barbara C. Craig "
