We sponsored 4 classes to the TBG Teaching Garden. Our flower shows and children's workshops were very successful. In cooperation with the City, we planted and maintained the gardens by the Public Library. Aided by our members, students from 4 local schools planted annuals in several public areas. We offered Front Garden and Community Non-Residential Awards. | ||||||||
