Welcome to Day 5 of National Garden Week and our visit to the Brookfield Library.
The garden at the entrance to the Brookfield Library community room was designed and planted by UCONN Master Gardener and long-time garden club member Ellen, who continues to maintain it. Her son Mark installed the wooden staircase as his Eagle scout project. Fellow member, Ursula does a fabulous job with the two planters at the library entry, changing them multiple times of year with seasonal arrangements. And member Dianne embellishes an educational display inside the library with Garden Club materials as well as free seeds, perennial and annual plants, and fresh floral arrangement. At Christmas, a wreath is delivered for display at the entry. The Garden Club is proud of its efforts to keep the library spaces blooming with color.
Happy National Garden Week!
