In honor of National Gardening Day, the ladies of the Rusk Garden Club joined residents of The Arbors to plant flowers for the patio at the Arbors this morning. Everyone enjoyed it.

Mother's Day Plants!! Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 9th. Good Samaritan Plant Sale is the day before Mother's Day. Garden Club member Debbie Palmer has been busy for months growing plants in her greenhouse to donate to the sale. The sale will be held at Katie's gas and convenience store parking lot, on Hwy 69 in Rusk. These photos show some of the plants that will be available, and Debbie says there will be more plants and photos coming. By May, these young plants will be full and overflowing.
Plants currently include:
*Ice Plant
*Purple Heart
*Aloe Vera
* Spider Plants
*Wandering Jew
*Basket Plant
*Mother of Thousands

The Cherokee County Master Gardener Conference is coming up on March 14th. Always great speakers, food, vendors, silent auction, and so much to learn about gardening.

Garden Club member Debbbie Palmer lost her huge 54 year old Live Oak in the recent freezing ice storm. One half split and broke off and because of the damage, the whole tree had to be taken down. It was an important part of Debbie's landscape and will be missed.

This Wednesday, February 25th at 2pm, is the monthly Garden Club meeting at the Rusk Library. We will have a program and light refreshments. See you there.

The Library garden beds are blooming! Thank you to the Rusk Area Garden Club.🌸🌻🌷

Garden Club members threw a Christmas Party for residents of The Arbors Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center on December 17th. Everyone enjoyed all the wonderful food and fellowship. 🍬🌲☃️🎄

Shout out to Matt Rowe, of Rowe Farms in Jacksonville, for the lovely pansies and coleus flowers that now brighten the flowerbeds at the Singletary Library in Rusk!
