Upcoming Work Days

April 1, 2017: Cokesbury College Work Day

On April 1st there will be a work day at Cokesbury College at 9:30 am. They have again requested our assistance in planting and mulching the 4 formal beds and entry gardens with flowers. Please bring your gloves and gardening tools and join us in supporting this project. Plants and mulch are provided. The historic College is located on route 246 in Hodges. Please RSVP Sherry Edwards at sherberry3077@att.net so she has an idea of the participants. This will be a great way to earn some volunteer hours!

City Greenhouse Work Days

Join other LMG members assisting at the Greenwood City Greenhouse as we help the city get the topiaries ready for the 2017 Festival of Flowers. Much of the work will focus on the Jeep which our LMG organization has been sponsoring for a number of years now. Watch your emails for announcements each week as to days and times.
