The Victoria County Master Gardeners have just become your personal holiday shopping elf by offering you that special gift that will keep on giving long after Christmas - and for many years to come.

PHASE IV EXPANSION
Several years ago, a Military Honor Garden was established in Victoria Educational Gardens to honor those who served in our military. Along with it came a "Pathway of Family and Friends" to allow recognition of those considered "special" - both garden areas to recognize individuals through the placement of brick pavers inscribed with names and credentials. To date, there are 675 military pavers and 125 "Family and Friends" pavers that are in place at VEG for viewing. The beautiful gardens are open to the public free from dawn to dusk and are located at 333 Bachelor Drive at Victoria Regional Airport (across from the control tower).

Because of numerous additional requests to purchase these brick pavers, the Victoria County Master Gardeners have decided to expand the Military Honor Garden and Pathway of Family and Friends into Phase IV. So, if you have or had someone in the military, or have special family or a friend you would like to recognize, now is your chance.

SOMETHING NEW
Included in Phase IV, we are offering a new option. We will make a brick paver available for purchase to be displayed in your own personal home garden, business or your favorite chosen place. Just a few ideas for you to consider are: "Grandmother's Garden," "The Lee Family," "Please Don't Pick the Daisies," and let's not forgot those family pets who are no longer with us, "My Best Friend, Duke."

HOW, WHERE TO GET FORMS
We have made it convenient to place your order via email. Simply go to the Master Gardener website, vcmga.org, click on "pavers" and follow the steps. Or we have order forms available at the following locations in Victoria: County Extension Office, public library, chamber of commerce, armed forces recruiting offices, VFW, American Legion, National Guard Armory, Army Reserve, Catholic War Veterans and Fossati's Delicatessen. The different brick sizes and their prices are noted on the purchase forms, along with names and telephone numbers for any questions.
