PLANT SALE--May 22, 2010

Many hands are needed to put together the annual plant sale that is held at Emerson hall each year. Janet Shanley took on the mantle of plant sale chair. The club thanks Janet for all her efforts. Lyn Mayewski is a big part of the "Big Dig"and nurses plants until the sale. This year gave the garden club the painting which was used on the posters and on the sweat shirts and the original was raffled off at the plant sale. And a big thanks for all who were at the "Big Dig," set up on Friday and worked on Saturday.

Here are some highlights from the plant sale:

ARBOR DAY CELEBRATION

Arbor Day celebrated in Castine on May 18, brought several members of the garden club and a few people from the town office to see the dedication of the newly planted flowering cherry tree that was planted in front of the Castine Community Health Services. The location was chosen because there seemed to be a need for a tree in the front since some had been lost in years before.


Castine was recognized by the Arbor Day Foundation for our commitment to urban forestry.
This honor, a Tree City USA Community, was presented in Augusta and attended by several members of the Castine Garden Club. For more detailed information about this award go here to read: Castine Patriot
