Nancy Zwickey Memorial Garden Tours

The Nancy Zwickey Memorial Garden Tours, held in partnerships with the Blue Earth County Master Gardeners and Twilight Garden Club, were a wonderful success! Approximately 30–35 people attended the community garden tours at four public gardens, while more than 60 enjoyed the private garden tours at three private residences. Together, the events raised $900 in cash/check donations for ECHO.

Many thanks to the dedicated Lifelong Learners members, Master Gardeners, and Twilight Garden Club volunteers who helped organize, host, guide, promote, and support these special events. We especially appreciate the work of the ad hoc committee—Carolyn Becker, Sarah Suskovic, and Terry Salerno. Their time and teamwork helped create a meaningful tribute to Nancy while showcasing Lifelong Learners and strengthening connections with other local organizations.
