To the editor:

On behalf of the Bainbridge Island Garden Club, I’d like to thank you for your recent coverage of our annual plant sale on May 12.

We are a nonprofit group, and the plant sale is our only fundraiser. From it, we have been able to award scholarships to deserving Bainbridge Island graduating seniors.

This year, the $1,000 award was presented to Connor Winship, a senior from Bainbridge Island High School who is planning to study viticulture.

Thank you for supporting our community outreach program with your articles and publicity.

ROBYN TESKE, SECRETARY

Bainbridge Island Garden Club
