Winter WatchThe beauty of winter is upon us and we are ready to face the season with “sisu.” Susu is a Finnish concept which encompasses strength, determination, and endurance. 2020 has been a difficult year. We have had fewer gardeners but those who have been available have risen to the task of providing a beautiful setting for all. New additions to the gardens have enhanced the location for visitors of all ages. We have added new signs, sculptures, seating, and free libraries, to make the gardens more attractive. New gardeners have volunteered and we have scheduled workers in order to adhere to the pandemic regulations. The beauty of the gardens was not affected by the changing environment for humans this year. Although the Finnish Center has been closed since March, the gardens have been open throughout the year. We hope you have found some positives among the restrictions we have faced. Perhaps more time for reflection and a less frenetic life during this slowdown. We hope you will be able to enjoy Finlandia Gardens this season and in the months to come. Drive by during the winter and see if you can find things of interest in a winter scape. For questions you can email dcs37mgsc@earthlink.com or call (248) 977-1337. We are always delighted to hear from you.Please support these friends of Finlandia Gardens:
