City of Madison issued the following announcement on May 31.
The McFarland Garden Club recently completed our annual planting of the “corner garden” where Exchange Street intersects with Bashford Street. The Village generously donates the money to buy the annuals (over 200 this year). Members design the garden, buy plants at different nurseries in the area, and plant the garden. They also water and weed the garden throughout the summer and into the fall for everyone’s enjoyment. The Village also donates the water which is conveniently located right there on the corner lot. The Garden Club wants to give sincere thanks to the Village for the money to help with this beautification project. Slinde Trucking and Materials has donated the mulch for many years. We are very grateful for this, as it helps control weeds, and it looks very nice, we think. Thank you, Mr. Slinde!
The Garden Club has existed for over 30 years, and is always looking for new members. If you’re interested in joining, please email either Margit Schiefelbein or JoAnn Hoffman. We usually meet once a month. Please e-mail one of us if you’re interested in coming to one of our meetings to find out more about the club.
