A small group of members were privileged to attend a tour of a private garden in Manoa Valley. The yard was shaded by several large trees, many of them fruit bearing. A number of flower beds, both well established and newly planted, added a profusion of color and fragrance throughout. After the tour, several people created four ikebana arrangements using materials gathered from the yard.
