Final Letter as President Since 1988, the Friends have been dedicated to

A
the promotion, improvement and preservation
s I take my exit as the President of Friends of Fellows of Fellows Riverside Gardens, a free public
Riverside Gardens, I have much to be thankful for. I garden, through advocacy and fundraising. As
have had the pleasure of serving our members and the a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, the Friends
community in this role for the past four of my seven years on the Board. It is with great are independent of the Gardens and Mill Creek
enthusiasm that I now welcome Denise Stewart into the role, to lead our Board and MetroParks, yet work in steady collaboration
guide the Friends organization forward. with them to sponsor events and programs and
to fund large-scale garden projects.
Through the dedication and guidance of the Board around me, and with the active
engagement of our community of members, I was encouraged every day to continue
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
to work toward our cause of preserving, promoting, and improving Fellows Riverside
Gardens. I accepted the role without knowing what impact I might be able to have President: Denise Stewart
on the long history of success of Friends, or the impact it would have on me. During Vice President: Janet Yaniglos
this time, I was exposed to some of the best examples of servant leaders in the Valley Vice President: Paul Hagman
– starting early on with the Gardens’ staff right through to my fellow Board members – Secretary/Treasurer: Lou DiPaolo
who taught me lessons which I tried to emulate each day. One thing is clear to me when
I look back at my tenure: our success can best be measured through our community Deby Clark
collaboration, integrity in dialogue, and a sense of shared duty to a place bigger than Andrew Detesco
any one person. Sallie Dutton
Jonathon Fauvie
It is because of those core tenets that Friends, for 30 years, has been able to create value Glenda House
beyond just simple numbers. Friends’ primary strength has not been in its significant Carl James
financial assets, but rather in its human capital. The value, as I have witnessed over these Jamie Jamison
years, is in our members, volunteers, board, and staff. Scott Lanz
Deborah Liptak
Friends’ circles of support have led the Gardens to excellence, providing the margin Deanna Marchionda
which has allowed it to grow into one of the most cherished spaces in our Valley and Bill Mullane
our hearts. Over these years, I’ve been awestruck to see firsthand just how dear the Carol Potter
community holds this free public beauty spot. It is truly by the people and for the John Slanina
people - and those people create the ability to motivate and enable others to contribute Ellen J. Tressel
toward organizational success. Quoting John of Salisbury, “…they raise us up, and by Samantha Turner
their great stature add to ours.” Aaron Young

Serving Friends has been one of my most valuable experiences. Although my time as MILL CREEK METROPARKS STAFF
president has come to an end, I will continue to serve on the board to complete my

remaining two years. In that time, I know that I will continue to learn from the leadership

PLANT SALE
Spring Plant Sale
F
riends sponsored and
orchestrated yet another
successful Spring Plant
Sale, which took place the second
weekend in May. A group of dedicated
volunteers worked for months to
hand-select, purchase, grow, and care
for plants in their areas of expertise.
Their work did not end there, as
they attended all days of the sale to
provide knowledge and information to
shoppers.
Tables were lined with annuals,
perennials, herbs, roses, dahlias, fruits and
vegetables, summer bulbs and tropicals,
bushes and woodies -- and a new
addition this year, aquatic plants (thanks
to June Nolasco’s willingness to develop
an aquatic container gardening section!).
A special thanks to Deb Metzger for
chairing the Plant Sale Committee, and to
Patty Rush and her team for re-energizing

all volunteers and staff each day of
the Sale with great lunches at the Peg
Close Intern House. Thanks also to all
who helped at check-out and with
giving out the “thank-you” plants to
members. And to the Gardens staff,
always willing to lend a hand and offer
advice! Remaining plants are still for
sale outside the Davis Center.

SEASONAL GARDENS
Digital Design
O
ne of the biggest attractions for the more than 400,000
annual visitors to Fellows Riverside Gardens is its ever-
changing outdoor flower display. How the Gardens keep
looking new and different to visitors is partially due to its “sea-
sonal” flower beds. By the end of every May, garden staff and
volunteers have removed thousands of spring bulbs from these
seasonal beds, to prepare the beds for summer flowers.
The planning for the seasonal beds’ summertime look, however,
begins long before the end of spring. Marcy Dubec, Fellows’ Gar-
dener, spends many winter hours in the creative design stage,
using a computer program into which she has uploaded dia-
grams of the seasonal beds. With her background in horticulture
and her years’ experience in garden design at the Gardens and
in graphic design, Marcy experiments with different plant and
color combinations to create layouts for the seasonal beds. She
reviews her draft layouts with Andrew Pratt, Gardens Director,
and Rob Chismar, Gardens Supervisor, who add ideas and exper-
tise to the final plan.
10
Plant material is ordered, and flower seeds are sown and tended
to in the greenhouse at the northwestern edge of the Gardens.
(The Friends raised the funds for this greenhouse several years
ago, and are supporting the MetroParks in the addition of a sec-
ond greenhouse later this summer. $25,000 from Plant Sale prof-
its make this second greenhouse possible.) After a few months
of carefully controlled growing, thousands of flowers are ready
to transplant and to transform the beds into their dazzling sum-
mer seasonal displays.
The seasonal beds this summer will celebrate Fellows Riverside
Gardens’ 60-Year “Diamond” Anniversary. The beds will feature
deconstructed and intersecting diamonds set amid pastel col-
ors. As in past years, the large seasonal beds in the long mall will
feature tropical plants, and the beds will also contain annuals
including petunias, geraniums, coleus, and portulaca. The target
date for completion of the seasonal beds’ planting is the second
week of June. Be sure to plan a stroll through the Gardens this
summer, to see how digital technology, human creativity, and
old-fashioned hard work have brought new and exciting de-
signs to the seasonal beds!
