Dear Friends and Neighbors, Please join the HPGC's May program: an in-person tour of a unique local botanical treasure, the Rabkin Japanese Gardens in Tarentum. Waterfalls and koi ponds, a Japanese Tea House, a dry garden, intricate stone pathways... these are just a few of the gardens' many special features and elements. Space is limited for the tour. We'll meet at the Gardens on Saturday, May 21 at 10 am, rain or shine. Free parking is available. Attendance is free for HPGC members, and available for a donation through Eventbrite for non-members.
