Lanesboro
Postmaster, Robin Hobbs (left), recently presented Vinka Lemut (right)
with a beautifully framed booklet of the 2004 Love Garden Bouquet stamp.
Anyone passing through Lanesboro in recent years has surely been delighted
and amazed at the sight of Vinka’s garden. It’s filled with
hundreds of flowers that put on an ever-changing display of color and
beauty. Friends and neighbors have benefited from her generosity, as
she is quick to share plants and seeds. Vinka can often be seen in her
straw hat and garden gloves, carrying a freshly cut bouquet to the home
of an unsuspecting neighbor. If you’ve ever been in the Lanesboro
post office and noticed a bouquet of flowers on the desk, chances are
they came from Vinka.
