Norcross Garden Club Gets a New Look

By Julie Fitzgerald

Spring is here and the Norcross Garden Club has a new look! Thanks to the sidewalk reconstruction of College Street in downtown, we have new steps and railings, plus lots of new plantings.

Linda Edwards and Julie Foster (who's also a Patch blogger) from “Gardens By Design” helped us choose the plants. Club members had a beautiful spring day to install our new plants the last weekend of March. All this is happening none too soon as our Annual Plant Sale will be April 19-20.

In case you did not know, our quaint historical building is now available to rent for small meetings and celebrations such as bridal showers, baby showers, birthdays, business meetings and more. Our property is located at 33 College St. and is across from Lillian Webb Park, which is a good place for a gathering and taking photos.

The Norcross Garden Club welcomes visitors to all our monthly meetings. Parents and students: If you have an interest in gardening, we would like to help you by organizing a Junior Garden Club. The community garden plots available for rent at 10 College St. are ideal for a beginner’s vegetable garden. We have sponsored one student this year at the Community Garden and hope to expand this endeavor in the future.

For more information about rentals and/or future meetings/programs visit our web site at: www.norcrossgardenclub.org. You can also check the Norcross Patch Events calendar for our monthly programs.
