ESWYN'S ALPINE CARETAKERS 49N 124W

Eswyn Lyster collected alpine plants from around the world. When she died, a dedicated group "rescued" her specialized garden. A rockery was created at the Nanoose Community Hall near Red Gap Centre. Over the past year her plants have been supplemented with others. Today, Eswyns's family was honoured to participate in the dedication of the garden on Mother's Day weekend.

Eswyn's garden references and records have been given to the group who insist on calling themselves Eswyn's Alpine Caretakers. June and Daphne, Eswyn's friends and alpine co-conspirators attended the event.

The group including Karen, Elaine and Loraine, worked hard to build the garden from an old blackberry patch and put on the event. A great way to remember a good mother.
