CLUBS & YOUTH GROUPS

Rosalia Garden Club

Faith Terrell’s garden, selected as June Garden of the month, is an asset to the town of Rosalia. Not only is it an attraction, but she also shares her garden by making space available for the town’s “Community Garden.”

Faith has judiciously planted her garden for continuous bloom. When the members of the garden club visited Faith’s garden, they noticed the peonies were done blooming, and the foxgloves almost done, but she had day lilies and some lovely delphiniums just starting their bloom. The highlights of the garden at selection time were some huge hostas along with three gorgeous purple clematis that really welcomed visitors into her garden. She also had some very special memory plants given to her by her son Randy who also loved gardening and got many of them for her.
