Library staff and students plant the Curious Garden
Kids joined together with Carolyn Van Dyne, Youth Services Specialist, on Saturday May 12, and read “The Curious Garden,” by Peter Brown. After discussing the importance of gardens in a community, everyone rolled up their sleeves and started planting. The Curious Garden features a colorful variety of annuals and was mulched by high school students on Community Care Day! Assisting with the project were Janice Jones and the Progressive Buds Garden Club, Brian and Jan Moody, Marilyn Coleman and Sue Callahan. (Photo by Sherryl Sheets)

What a beautiful sight to see
This beautiful raised flower box sits on the backside of Richwood Greene Apartments at 235 Grove Street in Richwood. It once was a memorial garden, and friends and residents of the complex would donate memorials with names of friends and loved ones who had lived at the apartments and has passed on. The memorials have since been relocated under the flagpole, but the beautiful flowers bring smiles to those who enter or leave the building. Marge Gamble, a resident at the complex has cared for the flowers for a number of years. (Photo by Sherryl Sheets)
