IN MEMORY OF TIM KNAPP

We are sad to report that our long time staff member Tim Knapp passed away in July.

Tim was quite a fixture at Bainbridge Gardens for over 25 years! Many of you know him as the pot guru, the water feature expert, the holiday wreath guy, the fellow who BG trusted to decorate our main displays...though many of you -- particularly of a younger age -- probably remember Tim as the Great Pumpkin, the jolly man in a pumpkin suit who you had your picture taken with at The Pumpkin Walk.

Despite his long horticultural career, Tim previously was an art teacher in Nebraska. Nebraska was important in his life, and he made the pilgrimage to Nebraska every summer to spend time with his family and friends.

Tim's spirit touched a lot of us at Bainbridge Gardens, and his absence will be felt especially during the upcoming holiday season.

One happy thing we can say is that we're certain that many of the plants at the homes of Bainbridge residents are there in some way because of Tim!
