In spite of the cool April weather, several visitors came for the Arbor Day tour led by Bill Carlos. One visitor was from South Carolina.. Another couple from Northern California had read about the gardens in the AAA VIA magazine and decided to check it out. Coffee and donuts were provided by the Rancho San Rafael Botanical Society. Additional entertainment was provided by a visiting rabbitt and a Canadian goose nesting on the roof over the office.
