We've had a busy few months here at the RJD!

Our Civics Fair, the lecture from our friends at the Whitfield/Manjiro house, and the Quaker, Whaler, Traitor Spy book talk and signing provided great educational experiences to bring our community together. We have seen a few camp groups for our bee/pollination field trip, including The Community Boating Center. Our weekly yoga class with the has been a great way to recharge and connect in our garden. Plus, we are gearing up for our annual Shakespeare production with and had a great lecture about this year's show, HAMLET.

There's always something to do.

We were so happy to accommodate this photo shoot. Our garden is a perfect backdrop for your professional photography!
