The Garden has touched our lives and hearts in many ways，yet the biggest reward of membership is our friendship. As the Garden celebrates five years of friendship，I would like to say “Thank you” to each of our members for the role you play in our success. Id also like to express my deepest thanks to my Garden keepers. Together，the ten Garden keepers handle all the Garden of Friendship administration(管理) and website maintenance(维护)，discuss new ideas，and keep in touch with all our group leaders.
