Rugged Country Plants at Twin Rocks!

Planting Donated "Rugged Country Plants"

I am ever so grateful for the many friends of Twin Rocks Friends Camp. It's sometimes hard to believe the generosity of so many people who come together to make the ministry of Twin Rocks successful.

This month I'm especially grateful for the family of Sean & Rebecca Currans. Their family holds a long and rich history here at Twin Rocks, so when they chose to close (at least temporarily) their Rugged Country Plants nursery based out of Milton-Freewater, Oregon, the Currans chose to donate more than 12,000 plants to the camp!

Many were bushes and shrubs, including plants like twinberry, spirea, and mockorange. They also sent several varieties of wildflowers, including blanket flower and penstemon.

And this is the perfect year for Twin Rocks to receive thousands of native plants, as we are in the process of restoring the land following last summer's installation of a new road around the perimeter of camp. Twin Rocks' Grounds Coordinator Joel Thomas is ecstatic, noting that this gift has saved the camp thousands of dollars and enabled him to begin reestablishing a natural camp landscape much faster than earlier projected.

We couldn't be more pleased. What a gift it is to have friends like Sean, Rebecca, Levi, Hillary, and Hannah Currans. Thank you!
