By Fred Herbst TICONDEROGA Ñ A community horticulturist has been honored by Fort Ticonderoga. Betty Rettig of Ticonderoga has been named the fortÕ s Volunteer of the Year for her work in Fort TiconderogaÕ s KingÕ s Garden. Rettig has donated nearly 300 hours of volunteer service since 2009. Ò I was completely caught off guard when I was named Volunteer of the Year at Fort Ticonderoga,Ó Rettig said. Ò Surely others have put in longer hours than me. It is my pleasure to be able to pick some of the beautiful flowers from the KingÕ s Garden and make arrangements to be displayed in the Log House and Cafe each week and for the garden party and clam bake. Ò I am the lucky one, to be sure, and appreciate the opportunity to volunteer in such a fine place and work with some great people,Ó she said. Ò As long as I am able I hope to continue volunteering as a floral designer in the King’s Garden. Hopefully more local people will also visit and volunteer at the fort and garden. We have a gem right in our own back yards.Ó Rettig loves flowers and
