Poetry was in the air and magic filled the garden!

On a beautiful spring evening, more than 100 guests gathered in our elegant Dowling Gardens for our 29th Annual Poetry Contest. From the youngest poets sharing imaginative rhymes to our teens and adults weaving thoughtful verses, creativity blossomed all around us.

As the sun set and the gardens glowed, words danced, stories unfolded, and our community came together to celebrate the joy of poetry. It was truly an enchanting evening filled with inspiration, laughter, and imagination.

Congratulations to all of our talented winners, and thank you to everyone who participated and joined us for this special tradition. Here’s to another year of finding wonder in words!
