Annual Spring Plant Sale --Thursday and Friday April 27th-April 28th
From Kathy Sumner:
Get ready everyone! We’re starting to book digs and will need help with digging, potting, labeling, and help to store plants until the sale. Let Kathy know if you need help digging or just need pots and labels. Let’s make this the best sale ever. But to do that we need everyone’s help. Let me know what you can do. Remember to save the sale dates and time during the preceding week on your calendar. We need all hands on deck to prepare for the sale. Questions? Contact Kathy Sumner (text:678.357.8684)

Georgia Arbor Day Celebration
The students were treated to a yummy, frosted tree cookie to munch on during Arborist Rick Barnes's presentation and a takeaway goodie bag. The goodie bag included a set of color pencils, a tree coloring book, an invitation to a free summer camp and a 30 day #Playoutside activity/journal to encourage outside activities. The youth are to track outside activities to connect with nature, away from screen time. To better understand the project, instructions were included in both English and Spanish. Once the youth have completed the journal a personal award certificate will be presented. This National Garden Clubs PLANT AMERICA initiative can be shared with others. If you or a friend would like to participate, contact LeannePenman2@gmail.com for the #Playoutside journal.
