Faye's Award
On Tuesday, April 26, Faye Roth received the Missouri Botanical Garden's Extra Service Hours Award presented by Dr. Peter Raven. This award is presented to a volunteer who has given time above and beyond their normal volunteer commitment. Heather nominated Faye on behalf of the entire LREC staff and we were thrilled to be at the Volunteer Appreciation Evening and see Faye receive this award.

Guess what this is!!
Recently, the hort staff was greeted by the birth of four Carolina wrens nesting in our garden wagon. The mother seems to tolerate us pretty well as we come and go.

Pileated Woodpecker Nest
We think we have a pair of pileated woodpeckers nesting in this hole of this sycamore next to the rain garden. Look for the mama pileated woodpecker at 3 oclock from the hole.
