Spotlight on
Landscaping Docents
 

Silver bells and cockle shells?  They’re not responsible for making our beautiful butterfly garden grow.  Rather, it’s the efforts of our dedicated and skillful landscaping docents, like Blanche Emerson (pictured left), a former pediatrician from Tennessee, and Rena Schuett (right), a 30-year Red Cross volunteer.  Rain or shine, they’ve come to plant, weed, and water since 1994.  Through the grace of their hearts and hands, we’re blessed with the gorgeous butterfly garden that beautifies the campus.  Their favorite flower?  The humble milkweed.  “It takes hardly any work and the butterflies love it,” claims Rena.  And we love and appreciate all their hard work and dedication to creating such memorable landscapes at the Sea Lab.  Other landscaping docents not pictured: Stella Anderson, Linda Miller, Carol Standish, and Kay Breitenfeld.
