Arrangement done by Jim
Donahue, Horticulturist for Newport County
Preservation Society's Green Animals Topiary Garden and presented to the Rhode
Island Dahlia Society. The dahlias used in the arrangement were those
planted in honor of Roberta Achtermeier at the new Green Animals dahlia
garden. The arrangement came with a sign that said:
"Thank You Rhode Island Dahlia Society from Newport Mansions, The
Preservation Society of Newport County, For your generous support of
the Dahlia Display Garden at Green Animals Topiary Garden Portsmouth".
