DEDICATION

 

THE 2012 UMASS EXTENSION GARDEN CALENDAR is dedicated to Deborah C. Swanson. Deborah retired from Plymouth County/UMass Extension in January 2011. Deborah served as an Extension Specialist for Plymouth County for over 34 years and was an Educator with UMass Extension for 40 years, starting her career at the Waltham Field Station. In recent years, she has served as Director of the Plymouth County Cooperative Extension. Deborah's expertise in perennials and woody ornamentals is highly regarded by everyone who has sought her advice over the years. Her technical contributions and photographs have been integral to the success of the UMass Garden Calendar. Best wishes to Deborah as she now looks forward to enjoying more time in her own gardens. We wish Deborah a happy and productive retirement.
