Garden club meeting this afternoon had a good turnout and featured speaker Debbie Forward from the Mobile Garden Club Tour. We voted to purchase ten group tickets for the 13th and 14th of May to attend. One of the homes we will visit belongs to a prominent doctor and his wife, who had been asked for nine years to show her beautiful garden, but never felt it was pretty enough.
She died this year as the tour was being planned and her husband and grounds keeper decided to open the yard in her behalf for the tour.We also voted unanimously to read a letter at the Council meeting condemning the
placing of two "Porta-Potties" next to the American flag at Brooks Park right in the middle of the parking lot.
