[dropcap]This year’s Picnic with the Peonies fundraiser presented by Cass Concepts raised nearly $26,000 towards installing an accessible path in the visitor-favorite Peony Garden. In addition, Deborah and Michael Westjohn have made a generous gift to complete the installation and improve the surrounding landscape, as well as provide an endowment for the path.

Construction has begun, and concrete will be poured later this month! Read about this fundraising effort on our crowdfunding page. Stay tuned for progress pics, and learn more about our Accessible Allerton initiatives on our accessibility page.[/dropcap]
