Garden Club Grows Together
On Saturday, May 10, the New
Wilmington garden clubs joined to plant a Memorial Garden in the strip
between the Borough parking lot and Hunting Bank. Master
Gardeners Carol Harper and Cindy Graham designed the garden using
perennials with annual accents. Both clubs contributed plants and
some were purchased from Home Grown Flowers. Nancy Muscil, former
pastor at New Wilmington United Methodist Church, opened the dedication
with prayer. She stated that we were partners in creating beauty
with our gifts, now and into the future.
Plantings were done in memory of Judith Benjamin, Mary Irene McCown and
Elizabeth Miller, former members of the New Wilmington Evening Garden
Club.
Many thanks go to Fred Garrett for his contribution of time and energy
toward the project.
(L-R) Master Gardener Cindy
Graham; Jacob McMillan, great grandson of Mary Irene McCown; Nancy
Shillington, New Wilmington Garden Club president; and, Sam Farmerie
plant a butterfly bush in honor of Mary Irene McCown.
