A shameless advertisement for the Eliot Garden Club! Today's haul from our veg/flower raised beds. Veggies will go to the food pantry. Flowers will be arranged and delivered to a community entity that we are grateful for!
And with the start of fall we are dressing up the gateway sign on Main Street with corn stalks and soon some pumpkins!

It was a soggy day yesterday at our annual plant sale, but as they say "if you build it"....and you all came out! We are so thrilled to receive the support from our community! The proceeds go back into the town to achieve our goal of promoting flower and vegetable gardening; to support beautification of roadsides; and providing opportunities for concerted action affecting the attractiveness of Eliot as a residential community!

The Eliot Garden Club members have been busy starting to plant up the 13 containers around town! This year's theme is red/white/blue to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our great nation! Watch the plant material in your neighborhood (and around town) explode with color as they grow.
Try and guess where each one is!
Oh and if you see political signs stuck in the containers, could you move them? thank you!
