April 13th:  Presentation by Joe Henderson on the Chanticleer Pond restoration

Picture
The Community Garden Club at Wayne is hosting a presentation by
Joseph Henderson, Horticulturist from the Chanticleer Foundation.


          You may think that during the COVID shutdown,
          Chanticleer gardeners were taking a break. That is not
          true.  They were hard at work making renovations to
          this spectacular garden. One such undertaking was the
          renovation of the ponds. Joe will talk about how they decided
          to work on the ponds, the planning and the work that took
          place to make them even more beautiful!

Join us at the Radnor Memorial Library on Thursday,
April 13th at 7:00pm to hear this presentation. Refreshments will be available at 6:30 pm
