We're finalizing the route... if you have must-visit gardens in mind, let us
know no later than Wednesday. We're looking for special things to do or
see, such as chicken coops, bee hives, cool compost centers, water
collection systems, special structures -- or just plain wonderful people and
fabulous gardens! And if we can't visit this year, there's always next
year!

Attached is a *Registration/Waiver* form.
*Please complete the form* and e-mail it back to
jlawrence64@yahoo.com = or = fax it to (718) 387-5059.
Do it in advance - it will save us all time!

*We still need volunteers!
Route marshals & ride contacts, set-up, clean-up, etc.
If you can help out, please contact me!

*Thanks, and we look forward to seeing you on Sunday October 26!*
