 Member and organizer Jannine Baker writes: In 2008, we raised almost more money than the previous three years combined!  As a result, we donated garden carts and cash totalling $2100 to the following community groups:
Walnut Woods restoration at the Arboretum
Port Royal Neighborhood Assoc for the Roanoke Greenway project
Squires Elementary
Sandersville Elementary
Community Gardens
Floracliff Nature Sanctuary
Women’s Prison Garden Project
Legacy Trail
In addition, we will be using money raised to help us continue to improve and maintain the perennial garden at the Waveland State Historic Site, our club’s ongoing Civic Project.
