The OAGC Foundation was recognized as one of the major financial supporters at the Dedication Ceremony of the Lewis B. Gunckel Grotto Memorial Fountain at the Dayton Veterans Administration Medical Center (Dayton) in June 2015. The Grotto, a Montgomery County OSU Extension Master Gardener project, was also one of the highlights for the 2015 OAGC Gardeners’ Day Out in August!

The OAGC Foundation expresses its gratitude for the continued financial support from its members that allows for fulfilling grant requests such as this.

The lodge was beautiful!
Fluffing out the 6-foot wreath.
I seem to spend a lot of time atop an 8-foot ladder…… I bring my own.
And this wreath, wow.
Nearly 60 people on day 1 and 35 on day 2 made the 2014 Hueston Woods Lodge Winter Wonderland a huge success! It is worth a visit!
