Calling all garden lovers!! Carolyn Rice
needs help getting the peace garden looking
wonderful again for this summer season.
The garden currently needs some tender
loving care with weeding, tending the soil,
planting, etc. She needs a few hands for a
half day – many hands make light work!! If
you can spare a few hours in the next week
or two to get together at a time suitable for
all, please contact Carolyn at 709-330-
7288. Many thanks in advance.
