Thank you and more....

Thank you to everyone who helped to clean and plant the triangle & planters on Sunday.  Also thanks to everyone who donated plants!     Official helpers are:  Gail, Georgia, Martha, Tammy, Anita, Christi, Bud, Erin, Colleen and me.  THANK YOU!!

Here is the low down:

Baker Acres: Donated ALL of the plants for the planters!  This is a big deal!  Remember last year we spent over $400 on the planters.  This year the plants are even better!  We even got some Coral Bells we are planning to dig out of the planters and trying to save over the winter.  THANK YOU BAKERS!

Amity Farms:  donated lots of hostas for the triangle, including some  really fun hostas like Striptease which is a really fun hosta as well as a fun dance.   FYI Amity Farms is the Hosta Farm on 37 owned by Sarah "the hosta lady" from the Garden Club.

Please Support our local businesses!  They are always a big help to us!

The planters and the triangle both look amazing.  I still need to call to see if we can get mulch donated. - it is offically on my To Do list for tomorrow.
