Work Days Around the Square

      Charlotte and others from garden club worked on the Katherine Lee Rose Garden on Thursday, February 15th .  They worked so hard that no one took time to take a picture to document their work but as you ride by you will notice that all the roses have been trimmed and soon will be blooming.  This is a huge job and thanks to all who were able to help Charlotte. 

      Special thanks to Charlotte and her husband who returned on Saturday to finish trimming the large running rose which has such wicked thorns.  They braved the cold to finish this task.

       February has been designated as a work month in preparation for the Literary Festival on March 1 and 2, as well as all the visitors that will be coming for the play in the spring.  The schedule is as follows:

     Tuesday,  February 20         Time is 1:30 for each day and of course, depending on the weather.

     Thursday, February 22

     Tuesday,   February 27

     Thursday,  February 29

        Several members are already on committees for designated areas so feel free to work any time outside the schedule if more convenient for you.  

                Bev, Emilie and June worked on the beds across from the police station.

After conferring with the city, we were able to get these bushes pulled up with

the plan of planting knock out roses here.

The above bed is now considered private property and part of "The Shop at 66"

We have talked with the property owner about removing the shrubs

and replacing with more knockout roses.

This was the "before" picture of the bed by the gazebo.
