Some of the members of the RHS remember Larry Miller. He used to spend time around the RHS office when we were located on the other side of the Old Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center. Larry died in June of 2024 and donated his property to the City of Kirkland for use as a pea patch. He was well known for his generosity in sharing his own garden for many years. Here are some photos and information on how Larry's generosity continues on.
