McFarland Photo of the Week |
Many of us pass by the McFarland Garden Club's "Garden Corner" at the intersection of Exchange and Bashford nearly every day, but did you know the club has been around for over 30 years? Members design the garden, buy plants at different nurseries in the area, and plant the garden. They also water and weed the garden throughout the summer and into the fall for everyone’s enjoyment. Learn more about their club in a recent article they submitted to the Communications and Technology Department.
