We are saddened by the recent passing of Monique Caramanolis. Monique was a garden ambassador greeting passerbyers and sharing her knowledge on the various types of spinach she was growing. We always looked forward to our potlucks as Monique would use the spinach to make spanokopitas. Monique was a key member of the garden, cheerful and always willing to contribute her time and expertise. We will continue to plant spinach in the garden bed, have a recognition plaque and a small tribute when we are able to gather. Our deepest condolences to the family, she will be missed.
