Fall brings cooler days - and the Lakewood Forst Garden Club fundraiser!  We try to support their work and buy a few flats of flowers each year.  Cathy C. has agreed to oversee the purchase of four flats to be used in the butterfly garden this year.  So save the morning of Friday October 25 to come out at 8:30 and help us spruce the butterfly garden up with some new fall plants.
