To the Editor:

I’d like to thank Quintin Ellison and The Smoky Mountain News for Ms. Ellison’s excellent article about the Corneille Bryan Native Garden at Lake Junaluska (www.smokymountainnews.com/news/item/3978-don’t-rush-by-this-little-lake-junaluska-treasure). She gave a succinct history and an accurate and appealing description of what a visitor will find there. It is a true treasure and represents years of work by a small staff and many volunteers. We appreciate her taking the time to stop by for our annual plant sale and to take a closer look at our garden. We hope her enthusiastic endorsement will encourage your readers to come and take a thoughtful walk through.

Linda McFarland,

Chair of the Board
