Celebrating 60 Years

 

On December 2, 2009, Three Rivers Garden Club will hold its 60th birthday party! Festivities begin at 11:00. Our club will honor its 60-year history and the Cultivating Young Minds garden project with the Boys and Girls Club.

 

At the home of Diane Harbin



Update!

 

The Boys and Girls Club “Friend Raiser” on October 24, 2009 was a success. Three Rivers Garden Club was proud to be a guest. Folks from the community got a first-hand look at the new facility—including, of course, the vegetable garden—and enjoyed good food and drink and excellent live entertainment.


Three Rivers Garden Club meets the first Wednesday of every month, September through May.

 

The Club is excited to present its 2009 – 2010 program schedule.
