The project was a true club effort, with members donating violets from their own gardens and working side by side to enhance this shared green space. The new violet bed highlights the club’s ongoing dedication to sustainability and eco-friendly gardening practices. It brings early spring color, strengthens pollinator habitat, and forms a natural, beautiful bridge between two of the club’s most cherished garden areas. Special thanks go to all CVGC members who contributed their time, plants, and energy to make this Earth Day project a success. Your generosity and teamwork made it possible. With appreciation to CVGC President Margo Antonelli, Blue Star Memorial Garden Project Chair Littany Hollerbach, Native Garden Project Chair Nancy Percivall and her husband George, Laura Austin, Trish Demers, Nancy Durose, Cindy Hare, Rosa Johnson, and Yuki Adams for their meaningful contributions to this effort. Together, club members continue to cultivate beauty, community, and environmental care—one plant at a time.

It was a beautiful morning—clear, sunny skies and no wind, despite earlier predictions of chilly weather. The atmosphere was relaxed and productive, helped along by a thoughtful playlist from Littany Hollerbach that started with classical piano and eased into softer popular tunes as the morning warmed up. Grasses were cut down, weeds were dug up, and mulch was carefully worked into the cleaned areas. The garden is now in great shape for spring visitors. Many thanks to Project Chair Littany Hollerbach, Lois Nichols, Lauren Toomey, and Trish Demers for their time and effort in keeping this meaningful space looking its best. Photo Credit: Trish Demers
 The Pollinator Garden behind Crofton Library just received a lovely upgrade with a brand-new stone pathway! This thoughtful addition enhances both the beauty and functionality of the garden, making it easier for visitors to explore and enjoy the space.
A special thank you to Laura Austin for generously donating the stunning flagstones that now form this charming path. Not only does it create a more accessible and inviting space, but it also helps support the garden’s mission of providing a thriving habitat for bees, butterflies, and other essential pollinators.  Member Nancy Percivall and TLC are on the move! They will now meet on Monday's at 10 AM, weather permitting, at Crofton Library to maintain the Native Garden located beyond the Blue Star Memorial Garden. All are welcome to help with the garden – bring gloves and your gardening tools. It's a great way to keep in touch throughout the summer months!
