<div class="MsoNormal">Someone came and totally stripped all our ripe black and red
raspberries sometime in the Riversdale gardens between Tuesday evening and
Thursday morning. While there were people in the garden for the concert, we
don’t think this wholesale “harvesting” happened during then.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">We work closely with our gardener to plan for needs for our
programs, and these were going to be served this weekend. (Also, please be
aware that anything we don’t use for a program goes to local food banks.) <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">We do want you to enjoy the grounds and garden; however, our
gardener and her volunteers work very hard and they, especially, deserve your
consideration.<o:p></o:p></div>
