OXFORD – The Oxford Garden Club (OGC) members have been very busy planting and making the Village beautiful. Recently you may have seen the wonderful landscaping volunteers did outside of the newly renovated Oxford Memorial Library. Members Jeanne Cline, Donna Schindler aided by husband John Farran, Rena Hall, Anna Stark and Anne Jackson have been hanging baskets in the LaFayette Park bandshell and planting around the Cole Memorial Fountain.
Behind the scenes, the club has been preparing for their great 2010 fund raiser, the “OGC Annual Plant Sale”. Garden Club members have been potting up a wide assortment of beautiful, zone hardy plants right from their gardens and ready for yours. The Annual Plant Sale will be held Saturday, June 12, from 9 a.m. to noon, on LaFayette Park. You will find an exciting collection of many plants. Although the sale is called an “Annual” you’ll find mostly perennial plants here. Come to shop and support the Club’s local civic beautification projects.
While you’re at the Plant Sale, don’t forget that you can get expert gardening advice. The OGC has three master gardeners, Harriet Adamson, Rena Hall and Donna Schindler. You may also wish to find out about joining this friendly, award winning group of plant-lovers.
