Oakland Library
In memory of our member Letty Martz., we were pleased to present "The Garden: Elements and Styles" to the Ruth Enlow Library. For many years, Letty was dedicated to making the garden one appreciated by all who enter. A great memorial to Letty, the book is splendidly photographed with lovely garden design through history. We miss you Letty.
