National Garden Week 2025
We celebrated National Garden Week in the first week of June trying to spread the word about the fun of gardening and the rewards of being in a Garden Club. We got the word out to the community by placing educational displays in four libraries. On three days we worked in our beautification sites planting, weeding and pruning. On one day we designed 200 mini bouquets to go with the trays for Meals on Wheels. On another day we planted 13 containers and four raised planters at Spring Arbor Memory Care. On the final day of National Garden Week, we held our first Children’s Garden Faire at Wishing Well Park. We had stations for making minis, coloring, seed planting, and information on recycling, poison ivy, and backyard habitats. Some children planted flowers in the containers around the park. We were delighted to have 95 children, parents and grandparents at our inaugural Children's Garden Faire. National Garden Week for 2025 was a great success. Thanks to all the people who helped during the week.

On Monday, we planted zinnias and angelonia at the Post Office, as well as doing a lot of pruning and weeding. On Tuesday we in the courtyard at Redeemer Episcopal Church and on Wednesday we made 165 mini bouquets for the trays of Meals on Wheels. We finished the week with plantings and weeding at the Fire Station and Spring Arbor Memory Care. We also put educational displays in 4 libraries.
