In Response to "The Other First Ladies of Gardening"

Aww, Ruby Maddox! Thank you so much for your kind, sincere words. It really means a lot to me for you to say that.

You have no idea how much I've learned from GtC over the past 6 years. Ever since I stepped foot onto "GtC grounds" my life has never been the same. I've set goals in life and GtC, along with the people involved in it, has not only given me the skills, the knowledge, the strength, and the courage to achieve my goals, but it has also made me set a new goal- to take the principles and habits of GtC and spread them where ever I go. There should be plenty of programs like GtC, it's far more than just beneficial to any community across the world.

I'm proud of the woman I am and the woman I aim to become and I owe a lot of that to my GtC family. I am more than honored to have all of you in my life. I love you guys!
