You are invited to our Weeding Friday at Town Square.  On Aug. 7, we will be having a work day at Town Square to weed and clean up the square.  This will start at 8:30 am until 10 am.  Folks will be on hand to answer your weeding questions.  Come and join your neighbors as we spruce up our town!

You never know who will drop into our meetings.  

Your welcome to join us on Aug. 17 at 5:30 pm, Lake Tomahawk Picnic Pavilion, 401 Laurel Circle Dr.

 We will be discussing, fall garden sale,  garden sites/containers/Town Square and more.  

 While the new CDC guidance doesn't require masks and social distancing, we understand that many of you will be more comfortable still doing it.  The meeting place is large enough that we can bring our own chairs and do what is comfortable for you.    

 A memorial honoring those who have died during the COVID-19 pandemic was completed in early April.  The project, located on a town-owned site known locally as “The Hill” above the Sutton Ave. parking lot.
 Longtime committee member Debbie Green proposed a “facelift” to the site comprised of all-native plants while offering a large donation to the project.  A memorial sign to honor Debbie's  former husband, W. Larry Ventis, was installed in the garden.

One of the biggest compliments members can do is bring their friends, family, and neighbors to a committee event. A big thank you was given to Benjamin Nikolai for bringing volunteers from Excel College. They did an outstanding job and we made some new gardening friends. Thank you Benjamin for all that you have done for the committee.
