As thanks to all our members, volunteers, supporters and visitors, the SYV Botanic Garden Foundation held its first annual Appreciation BBQ & Silent Auction. .
.
The event started with appetizers, drinks and garden tours as well as opening the silent auction of amazing offerings. The dinner then commenced and Margie Popper and John Evarts of Cachuma Press were honored for their amazing work with native plants through all their publications. .
.
Thank you to all who attended and helped make this a success even through the unprecedented May rains! Amazingly pop up tents were quickly gathered popping up seemingly from no where like mushrooms in the rain! We are so grateful for the amazing efforts to make this event happen and for the incredible support of our community garden!

Be sure to mark you calendars for our next one on October 5, 2019!
