NEW HAVEN, Mo. - On April 6, we started our second year maintaining the water garden at the New Haven Care Center. This activity will continue the first Monday of each month through October (10/06) at 8:00 A.M. As a related activity we also plan to continue our “Share the Blooms” program on these Mondays.
Last year garden club members brought flowers from their gardens and made arrangements for the care center.

Volunteers are welcome to help with the garden or to donate flowers. Rhonda Helling (237-2853) is our lead coordinator for this project and we have two members, Betty Altemeyer and Lucille Pohlmann, who have experience creating arrangements.
