AUGUST - VF - Garden club makes civic improvements

Club's civic improvements project group takes on North Conway Roundabout

CONWAY — Norma Whitmore, the Mountain Garden Club Civic Improvements Project chair, organized a group of 14 Mountain Garden Club members and friends to clean up the very visible North Conway Roundabout by Lowe's and Hannaford's. In an hour and a half they were able to get rid of all the weeds, so it is a more pleasing sight to the visiting tourists and residents who drive by so often.

This summer there are about 70 Mountain Garden Club members working around the Mount Washington Valley on improvement project locations:  three in Bartlett, two in Jackson, two in North Conway, one in Conway, one in Eaton and one in Freedom. Approximately 1,000 hours will be expended in these efforts. So … be on the lookout for the bright lime green safety vests when you are out and about in the Valley.  Those are Mountain Garden Club members happily at work beautifying the community, because “Our Roots are in the Valley”.

The Mountain Garden Club, established 38 years ago, is a member of the New Hampshire Federation of Garden Clubs – District 1, and of the National Garden Clubs, Inc. – New England Region. Membership is open to men and women of the Mount Washington Valley. The club is dedicated to promoting horticultural education, civic beautification, and conservation through volunteerism and friendship in the Mount Washington Valley. For more information about the club visit www.mountaingardenclub.org.
