That reminds me more of May than June but the day did warm up after some late morning rain.  We had a very productive day both inside and outside.  Our grounds crew of Big John, Terry, Cindy, Sean, Larry and I all had lots of different duties and shifted inside easily for some indoor projects during the hour or so of rainfall (not unwelcome).  Our volunteers today included Kathy, Eva, Tim, Stan, Kristin, Kath, Marleen, Barb, Terri, Sandi, Cora, Jane, Dr. Gredler, Bill, Urban, Rollie, Mary Kay, Janice, Art and many others.  It was another busy and productive day with LOTS of kids out in the gardens enjoying tours and programs by our wonderful education volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"528\" height=\"720\" data-src=\"https:\/\/rotarybotanicalgardens.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/61714906_457944854748176_6778099464201568256_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13453 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/rotarybotanicalgardens.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/61714906_457944854748176_6778099464201568256_n.jpg 528w, https:\/\/rotarybotanicalgardens.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/61714906_457944854748176_6778099464201568256_n-220x300.jpg 220w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 528px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 528\/720;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"528\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/rotarybotanicalgardens.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/61714906_457944854748176_6778099464201568256_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rotarybotanicalgardens.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/61714906_457944854748176_6778099464201568256_n.jpg 528w, https:\/\/rotarybotanicalgardens.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/61714906_457944854748176_6778099464201568256_n-220x300.jpg 220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>&#8216;Roseomarginata&#8217; European beech (tricolor beech) &#8211; (<em>Fagus sylvatica<\/em>) &#8211; woody (above)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"528\" height=\"720\" data-src=\"https:\/\/rotarybotanicalgardens.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/61715152_2429254327095494_7068205486931181568_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13454 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/rotarybotanicalgardens.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/61715152_2429254327095494_7068205486931181568_n.jpg 528w, https:\/\/rotarybotanicalgardens.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/61715152_2429254327095494_7068205486931181568_n-220x300.jpg 220w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 528px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 528\/720;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"528\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/rotarybotanicalgardens.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/61715152_2429254327095494_7068205486931181568_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rotarybotanicalgardens.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/61715152_2429254327095494_7068205486931181568_n.jpg 528w, https:\/\/rotarybotanicalgardens.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/61715152_2429254327095494_7068205486931181568_n-220x300.jpg 220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>&#8216;E.A.
