The volunteers help with everything—writing articles, proofreading, preparing the paper for mailing (see photos below) and more. We are looking for someone to write the new feature, “They live among us” (see the first interview on page 13). We can always use more help, so if you’d like to volunteer, please contact J.D. Rogers at 541-846-7736. Is your Gater missing? Some irate readers are not receiving their Applegater. If this has happened to you, please report it to your local postmaster, not your mail carrier. Sanctuary One: Garden comes of age by DellA MeRRill At Sanctuary One we get things done through a spirit of collaboration, partnership and fun. There’s nowhere that shows up better than the evolution of our front garden. Starting with a patch of dirt as hard as a cook pan just a few short years ago, with lots of hands, manure and donations we’ve turned the space into a garden that pleases every sense. Here is a brief pictorial history of its 2012 evolution. Special thanks to the following for making this happen: • Sanctuary One volunteers and visitors • Veterans • The boys from Lithia Springs • Shooting Star Nursery • Solid Ground Landscape • Dahlias are Forever • Ashland Greenhouses • Forest Farm Nursery • Goodwin Creek Gardens • The Grange Co-op • Applegate Nursery If you are someone who loves to garden or has a business with plants you’d like to donate, give us a call. There’s always more to be done. Call Della at 541-899-8627 or email education@SanctuaryOne.org.
