 Project Chair Jessica Kruse, Laura Austin, CJ Salisbury, Jane McClanahan, and Carol Buhr Crofton Village Garden Club (CVGC) participated in the Crofton Cherry Blossom Festival, celebrating its long-standing tradition of planting cherry trees along Crofton Parkway. Founded in 1969, the club’s first major project was inspired by Kathryn "Kay" Callahan, who envisioned bringing the beauty of Washington, D.C.’s Tidal Basin cherry trees to Crofton. Over time, the club's efforts inspired homeowners to plant their own trees. In 2014, CVGC pledged to plant 50 new trees in celebration of Crofton’s 50th anniversary, successfully fulfilling this commitment in 2022. The festival provided an excellent opportunity for community outreach, where members answered questions, interacted with residents, and identified potential new planting sites, furthering the club’s commitment to enhancing the community’s landscape.
