You are invited to our Weeding Friday at Town Square.  On July 2, 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!

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.
 

Thanks to Pat Reichenbach for leading this special project of having new beautification plant containers on the Avenue.  This was a local effort, as Walt Tolley built the containers, Dan & Tekla Howachyn creating the metal art strapwork and the beautification team did the rest ~ Carl, Barbara, Anne, Tracy, Julie, Jean, Lyndall, Katherine, Leesa, Ruth, Sally and Mary

Your welcome to join us on June 20 at 5:30 pm, Lake Tomahawk Picnic Pavilion, 401 Laurel Circle Dr.

 We will be voting on a new Vice Chairperson , fall garden sale, booth at Sourwood Festival, garden sites/containers/Town Square and more.  

We will have a plant swap at the meeting too.  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 will be planned in June to honor Debbie's  former husband, W. Larry Ventis, who died because of complications with COVID-19 and other victims.
