Greenville Garden Club Donates to Senior Center
The Greenville Garden Club has a plant sale each spring. This year's sale was very successful. You might say it was
bigger than a field of Kansas sunflowers. Proceeds from that sale allowed the Garden Club to make a $1,000 donation
for landscaping at the Senior Center and the new Frank and Susan Watson Community Building. Anna Oestreich, Senior
Center Director, said the plan is to replace the existing landscaping with something new that will create a seamless,
unity between the two sections. [story courtesy Greenville Chamber of Commerce]
