The September Helping Hands Award is awarded to Gwen Best!
Gwen is a tireless pillar of both the Association and our Demonstration Garden. As co-leader of the Edible Garden with Gail, she helps maintain a thriving, active space throughout the year. Her deep horticultural expertise is matched by her generosity in sharing knowledge and mentoring both incoming interns and veteran Master Gardeners.
Beyond her hands-on garden leadership, Gwen has served effectively as Membership Chair.
She is also a driving volunteer force behind our largest annual events, generously contributing her time and energy to the plant sale, Open House, and a variety of outreach programs. Gwen is a true asset to our community, and her bright smile is always more noticeable than any complaint.
Gwen, thank you for the many ways you continue to lend a helping hand.
Congratulations on this well-deserved Helping Hands Award!
