Recent sale helps garden club efforts

Members of the Four Flags Garden Club of Niles want to thank the community for supporting its recent plant sale.

Proceeds enable the club to maintain its many community service projects, such as the Historic Amtrak Depot gardens, the Yellow Ribbon Garden near the Niles Veterans’ Memorial in Riverfront Park, as well as maintaining the John Gipner Grave Site Garden in Silverbrook Cemetery. In addition, the club plants and maintains the planters at the Niles Law Enforcement Complex.

Unsold plants were donated to “Plant It Forward” in Benton Harbor, an organization that donates plants to low-income families to help them beautify their homes.  Plants were also donated to Silverbook Cemetery as well as to the City of Niles for their planters.

The club welcomes any new members. Those interested should check out the club’s Facebook page, or contact Ronnie at (269) 684-3427.
