The Annual Spring Celebration was a huge success. Everyone involved had fun and enjoyed the day completely. The volunteers were the cogs in our fund-raising event and spurred it with an upbeat and friendly attitude. The event raised an unprecedented amount and the Quarryhill board members have decided to send ten percent to earthquake relief in China.
Quarryhill opened the garden to the public free of charge to celebrate Earth Day. Over 400 people attended from 10am-2pm to learn about both Quarryhill and environmental conservation. Staff and Volunteers were available throughout the day. 
Nursery Manager, Corey Barnes taught this beginning propagation class. Participants learned several techniques including layering, transplanting, & seed propagation. Corey will be teaching a follow up class on grafting this summer. Contact the garden for more info.
