Continuing Projects
Arbor Day
To encourage an appreciation of the beauty and importance of trees to our community, Club members will present an annual Arbor Day program which features the planting of a tree at the Reflection Garden in Lake Nassau Park. City Officials, Garden Club members, school children, and the public will be invited. This ceremony is the continuation of Club tradition since our inception.
