Fellow member, Ursula does a fabulous job with the two planters at the library entry, changing them multiple times of year with seasonal arrangements.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp;The Garden Club is proud of its efforts to keep the library spaces blooming with color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy National Garden
