Garden Club grant starts to bloom!

Jennifer Glass shares the following: If you walk or drive by Town Offices this week, you’ll see the blooming results of the grant we awarded to Marit van Buuren last year. In consultation with and funded by the LGC, she and her daughter planted spring bulbs in front of Town Offices and under the trees along the road. It is lovely to see the cheerful yellows and purples!

Thank you to Alison and her team for caring for Lincoln’s Station Park! It looks Beautiful.

We enjoyed an inspiring talk on April 7th at Donaldson Auditorium.

I’m happy to report that the beds you funded have been planted by enthusiastic students with native pollinator perennials.

The bed in the center was planted by the Boston/Wednesday Scholars group, who even added wonderful pollinator sculptures made from recycled materials. The other bed was planted by a third grade STEM class, facilitated by Danielle Proulx who is teaching for the LLCT. The third bed is a project bed that youth groups are using for growing vegetables.
