Shakespeare Garden at 80 - An Album

Yesterday was sunny, bright and warm -- a perfect day to celebrate the Shakespeare Garden's 80th birthday.

Here's an album of pictures highlighting visitors, volunteers, activities and special gardens on the private garden tour. Congratulations to all who worked so hard on one of Plainfield's premier visitor events. And special thanks to those who opened their private gardens: Greg Palermo and Donna Vose, Bart Brown, and Charlie & Vicky Rappold.
