June 25, 2016 at the Sego Lily Gardens. Artists had 3 hours to produce their
art "en Plein Air" using the beauty of the Gardens as their subject matter. They
then framed their art and submitted it to be judged. Gary Bloomquist took first
place with "Sego Lily Saturday". The Sego Lily Quick Draw is sponsored by the
Sandy Visual Art Committee, the Sandy Arts Guild, Sandy Public Utilities and
Sego Lily Gardens. The Sego Lily Quick Draw 2017 is scheduled for June 10th.

November
“Rain! Whose soft architectural hands have
power to cut stones, and chisel to shapes of
grandeur the very mountains.”
– Henry Ward Beecher
TIP: Water evergreens and small trees and
shrubs if the fall weather is especially dry. Their
foliage and stems need to be nice and plump to
prevent damage from drying winds now through
early spring.

“Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is
patience.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
TIP: Choosing plants that will look good
during colder months is more a matter of
thinking about bark, berries and shape. During
winter, remember to wrap upright Junipers and
Arborvitaes with burlap tree wrap.
