This garden club was formed back in the 1950's with specfic objectives such as:
1. Advancement of home gardening.
2. Presevation of natural resources
3. Preservation of wildlife.
I have been attending the meetings when I can for the last two years and have learned alot about gardening, and made the acquaintance of many seniors, who have also shared with me their knowledge of the area.
This club is extremely organized and runs better than some profit generating businesses.
Some of the yearly projects includes:
1. Yearly plant and bake sale fundraiser
2. Yearly scholarship to a high school student
3. Maintenance and beautification of local parks .
The club meets every second Thursday of the month, coffee and dessert is always provided, members take turn to see to this. A specific topic is also addressed. Below are some of the topics this year.
