We have had so much positive response with the planning of this park for handicapped children we have been overwhelmed. All kinds of people have offered their time to help us. 2 Acres of forested land have been cleared and we have removed stumps. With a little work next late spring a fence will go up and picnic benches and a pergola will go up. Meanwhile other goodies are in the workings but it will take a little more time for these to surface.
We have created both a pin and key chain to help raise funds for the 'Colby's Wishing Star Park'. These pins were designed by Carolyn Ann Torlot a jewelry designer and close friend of ours. They depict a lilac with 4 pink florets as a momento of the lilac we named for Colby: Syringa x 'Colby's Wishing Star'.
These items are $3.00USD or $4.00 CDN and all sales go to fund for work on the park.
The emphasis on the park will be to make the gardens special for handicapped children and their families to come and spend a day in nature and games and picnics. This area will be only open to families with handicapped children.  We want this to be a place to spend a day and have a picnic with the family where all the senses are awakened. It will be a step by step on going working of 2-3 years to complete what we want.

This will not harm the quality of the plant. The plants are wrapped with enough humidity to get through the mail with no problems.
All plants have been grown in containers unless stated. The “g” refers to gallon showing what size pot  the plant has been grown in.
