HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

The Centennial Garden sits on the grounds of the Schmidt Mansion, which was built by the founder of the Olympia Brewery in about 1904. The garden was installed by Olympia Rose Society members in 1989. It is surrounded by tall cyclone fencing to protect the roses from deer.

The Schmidt Mansion and its grounds are owned and maintained by the Olympia-Tumwater Foundation. They open the gates to the Centennial Garden Monday through Friday, from 8-4:30. The garden is fenced to keep the deer out. The Centennial Garden itself is maintained by the Olympia Rose Society. Members meet to work on the roses on Monday mornings during the summer deadheading season. Anyone may join us; please contact the Centennial Garden chair, listed on the ORS website, to verify days and times.

In addition the ORS hosts work parties in March and in November which are open to the public. Spring pruning is done in March, and winterizing in November. Check the ORS website calendar for dates and times.
