Lendonwood Bash to Feature Auction
Tickets still are available for the Lendonwood Gardens Birthday Bash, set for Saturday, June 2, on the grounds of the public botanical garden in Grove. The fund-raising event will feature an auction of about a dozen specially planned and donated “party packages” ranging from a catered lake cruise to high tea at Lendonwood.
The Birthday Bash, held from 5:30 to 8 p.m., celebrates the 10th year anniversary of Lendonwood Gardens and Oklahoma’s centennial with entertainment and good food as well as the auction. Music will be provided by Sonny D and the Invisibles. Catering of heavy hors d’oeuvres will be handled by Auntie Em of Grove.
Tickets to the Bash are $30 per person and are available at Grand Escapes Travel at 313 S. Main Street, Grove. Sharon Houck of Grove is chair of the Birthday Bash planning committee.
“We expect the auction to be extremely spirited and lots of fun,” said Cindy Reynolds, president of the Lendonwood Board of Directors. “All proceeds will go to the maintenance of Lendonwood, which depends on the generosity of the community and volunteers to continue as a real treasure on Grand Lake.”
Among the party packages to be auctioned off will be a catered Italian dinner dubbed the “Witness Protection Program.” Another will be a two-hour wine-and-cheese party for 18 at Honey Creek Lodge with piano music provided by Terry Jordan of Grove.
A dinner for six will be provided by Santa’s Old Broads, a local ladies’ organization that has published a popular cookbook featured in area newspapers. Other packages include a gourmet dinner, a Mexican fiesta, a Chinese New Year celebration party, a seafood dinner, a mimosa brunch with lake cruise, and a “sailing adventure.”
One package offers “high tea at Lendonwood Gardens,” featuring tea, desserts and scones served on fine china. In another party package, Leonard Miller, founder of Lendonwood, will offer tea and a guided tour of his new home garden at Elk Ridge northeast of Grove.
Lendonwood Gardens includes more than 1,200 types of plants throughout three acres at 1308 West 13th Street (Har-Ber Road) in Grove. A popular tourist destination, the public garden showcases a number of plant collections, such as rhododendrons, evergreen trees, dogwoods, daylilies, Japanese maples and hostas.
Many visitors are drawn to the Angel of Hope statue at Lendonwood, which provides a beautiful memorial to lost loved ones. In addition, a large Japanese pavilion overlooks a scenic pond with koi fish.
Lendonwood is a non-profit organization operated by a Board of Directors made up of volunteers from the Grand Lake area.
