ANNUAL PLANT SALE
​
Thanks to everyone who came to the plant sale on June 18th, to all those club members who donated plants and garden items, to all those who donated raffle items and/or purchased tickets.  The proceeds of this sale help us to plant and maintain gardens in all villages in town and award scholarships and toolships to local students.  Pictured below we have a photo from the night before preparation, one of the many raffle items, herbs, flowers and perrenials and items from the gently used table.  For more pictures go to the photo page by clicking the

The season has begun. Members (and helpers) of the  CIVIC BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE gathered for a weeding party at the Forest Road Garden on April 22nd.  As one member said, many hands and early weeding got a grip on Mother Nature.
