We make the Garden Tour, and the paper. . . at last

Carol and Duane Cox bought our house, and garden, in 2000. Here she is on the

Stan's brother Virg, who gets a copy of the Eden Prairie News, told us this week that the garden we built at our old Eden Prairie house was featured in the newspaper a few weeks back. He assumed we already knew, but of course we didn't. We're retired now and out of the loop.
Sure enough, a check of the archives revealed that the garden we'd slaved over decades ago is now included in the official Eden Prairie Lioness Garden Tour.
Homeowner Carol Cox, who helped host the fundraiser, was quick to credit the former owners for their work. Here's a link to the story on the EP News website. Click here.
