Secretary: Timmie Palm Timmie is an artist, both in her garden as well as in her home and on easel. She and her husband, Bob, own 10 acres on the Babocomari River in southeastern Arizona and love their views and their wildlife.

Bob recently researched & bought a greenhouse and assembled it with his wife and son. So now Timmie will be able to save some of her potted plants for spring as well as get a head start on next season's flowers. Treasurer: Donna Blackburn Donna is a certified Master Gardener graduating in 2007, and an expert on roses.

There are currently over 250 rose plants in their yard in Sierra Vista, including Grand Floras, Hybrid Teas, Florabunda, Miniature, Micro Miniature, Climbing, and Tree roses. Donna is also growing dwarf Japanese maples in containers, Bougainvilla, and believe it or not, in this dry, high desert, Hostas! A lover of humming birds, Donna always has something growing in her yard to attract the hummers: Agastache, Penstemon, and Salvia. Donna and Cliff, have a yard that is a work in progress, with ever changing landscapes matching ever changing attitudes. “There is always room for one more rose plant.” Historian:Angel Rutherford Angel is a nature lover and photographer. She has taken photos all over the world, but one of her favorite places is in her own yard. She keeps her camera on a counter near her back door, so it's handy if she sees an interesting subject. She has had exhibits of her photos in several places around Cochise county and won several awards. She has a front and back yard that is full of native plants and ponds. She also runs a business, called Angel Frogs from her side yard. She grows and sells plants for ponds and educates clients on how to create and plant their own ponds. Angel is a long time Master Gardener and is often sought out by other garden club members for her knowledge and advise. We are also treated to various columns telling us about native plants that grow in her yard in a monthly column in our local paper. Angel's yards are full of plants that are colorful and attract wildlife. She's always got numerous quail and other birds using her yard as a haven in the city. Her plants always produce volunteers and Angel is one of the chief contributers to our twice a year club plant sales.
