We had a full weekend....... We don't have the final tally, but Duke Garden volunteers counted at least 1600 visitors who attended the Tea House on Saturday and Sunday (November 1 & 2). We handed out 600 bookmarks advertising Magnificent Mums and had 56 people sign up to hear about future shows and flower sales. Two people expressed interest in joining. We were impressed by the number of people who were already aware of next week's show at the NC Fairground James Martin building, November 8 & 9. See above for details on the upcoming free judged flower show. Vote on the best of show chrysanthemum.
