A FLOWER GARDEN FOR TEEGARDEN Do you remember the old elevator site in Teegarden? The remaining building w as removed and all that was left was the cement flooring. Last year that was removed also and the railroad wants the ground to return to its natural form, which of course, would be to weeds. Some of the folks thought it would be nice to see beautiful flowers growing there, instead of weeds so they have begun a project to plant flowers. We are planning a work day which will be Saturday. April 28. The rain date will be May Sth. on a Saturday. Volunteers are needed to help prepare the ground for planting. The planting will take place at a later day in May and will be announced when the date has been decided. Also needed are donations of seeds, bulbs and plants of any kind. Anyone wishing to donate their time, energy, plants, seeds and bulbs would be greatly appreciated. We will be having a pot-luck dinner the day of the work day. so anyone helping out that day is welcome to bring one dish and your own table service and enjoy pot - luck with us.
