Garden Club of Decatur

After almost a month off, we will be back in action sorting lids at the zoo on Monday, June 8. Early bird sorting at 8:30. Regular schedule 9 to Noon. Come when you can, leave when you have to! I have a picnic table pick up on June 18 and currently have no lids ready to take so any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Paula Luckenbill

💐National Garden Club Week💐

Please save October 3 for an exclusive viewing of over 30 exceptional settings designed by local businesses, organizations, individuals, and Garden Club members.
Thank you to Kathy Sorensen, Linda Gross, Barbara Ferracane, Susan Cleary, Jo Caulkins, and Linda Ostrander for collaborating on such a beautiful display!
