Here it is already. Day 7 of National Garden Week. Our final garden visit is to the Flagpole Triangle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twenty years ago, after two years of raising $5,000 dollars and negotiating state, federal, and utility company regulations, the Garden Club of Brookfield installed a 30-foot tall Flagpole at the Triangle<\/strong> intersection of Routes 25 and 133.  On Veterans\u2019 Day 2005, the flagpole was officially dedicated by the club with local veterans in attendance.  This flagpole in the heart of the historic district stands as a tribute to our country and our veterans.  The first flag to be raised and flown was donated by former Garden Club member Nancy Keefe to honor the military service of her son. Following the installation, the Garden Club designed and created a garden for the base of the flagpole.  The garden is maintained by the Garden Club of Brookfield in support of its mission to beautify Brookfield.  Over the years more native perennials have been added to the garden to attract pollinators so important for sustaining insects, butterflies and birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

National Garden Clubs reminds us that \u201cGardeners have a passion for nurturing the beauty and resources of the earth through the planting of seeds, the care of all plants and the riches of their efforts…\u201d. <\/em>Our garden club enjoyed taking you on a tour of these wonderful green spaces in our town this week and we hope you are able to visit and experience them in person. Happy Summer!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
