A Lovely Gift
to the Williams House Lawn
This summer a new garden volunteer, Marianne Butak, stepped up to help Jamie Ault with the Williams House Gardens. As Marianne spent time in the gardens she could see what amazing and expert work Jamie has done to design, install and maintain the plantings over the years. Jamie mentioned a bench that was once there. That inspired Marianne to be the high bidder on a lovely stone bench in the library auction, which she has bestowed in
honor of Jamie. A plaque will be added. We thank both Jamie and Marianne for their energy and generosity!

The pole has clippers, not a blade (for safety reasons).
