A Special Acknowledgment to One of Our Most Dedicated Volunteers, Mr. Paul Sommers
For the past five years, Paul has generously shared his expertise by teaching gardening classes at Griset.

He has a wealth of knowledge from his experiences gardening in different parts of the world and always offers sound advice when asked. Plus, he's super kind and patient." - Sandy Miller, CHL staff
