The FOBG volunteers celebrated Tom Beatty’s birthday at the Conservatory with carrot cake and brownies, and a stack of birthday cards. Tom has been Bush Park’s Horticulturist for 18 years, overseeing all aspects of maintaining the park, its gardens and grounds. Seems like a good time to put a spotlight on him for his dedication and hard work all these years, and especially for being such a goodwill ambassador for our park. I, personally, have known him for 13 of those years, and have admired him not only for his incredible knowledge of plants, but also for being so very accessible and generous with that knowledge. So, as you’re walking through the park and you see Tom, wave and say “Thank you!”
