The ladies of the Franklin Garden Club spent the morning pulling weeds and getting the gardens ready for a fresh layer of mulch later this month. The trees in the garden are all in bloom and beautiful.

What a great turnout this morning at the gardens. We’re getting the gardens ready for the coming cold. We had to cut back the beautiful mums but left a few for the butterflies and bees.

A BIG THANK YOU

The FGC would like to thank the Paint Department of LBJ Job Corp for the wonderful job they did painting the fencing around the Clock Tower gardens. We really appreciate the time and energy they spent helping us to keep the gardens beautiful.

FYI: NEW LOCATION OF LITTLE LIBRARY
For anyone looking for the “Little Library” it’s been moved to the Rankin Square garden, next to the pergola and bench. The new location now provides seating and shade for anyone who would like to sit in the garden and read to their children. Please enjoy.

Wow! Many hands makes light work. What a great turnout this afternoon from the members of the FGC and some helpful volunteers from the HIGHTS organization. We were able to clean out an overgrown section of Rankin next to the fence behind the storage shed. The work was completed in an hour with all hands on deck! Great job everyone and a special thanks to Reid Lynch for bringing out his helpful young volunteers.
