The Frankford Garden Club has a good trip coming up. On May 21st they are going to the Scott Arboretum at Swarthmore College. “The Arboretum is a museum of living plants from trees to annuals, that thrive in the Delaware Valley, complete with labels. Come and see what you could be growing in your yard! “Non members are also invited at a cost of only $5.00. See the flier below. They are always looking for new members.

The Frankford Garden Club would like to thank the Frankford Gazette and the Frankford community for supporting us. And thanks to the many Garden Club members who helped make our Annual Plant Sale a great success!”
We had a few events here in the run up to Mother’s day. On Wednesday, there was a Jewelry and Craft show sponsored by the Frankford CDC at the Simply Flawless Salon at 4616 Frankford Avenue. On hand were Candi Ritzman of the Pampered Chef, Melissa Matos of Red Stag Jewelry and Noel Wallert of Thirty-One gifts. If you missed the show, feel free to contact them through their pages which are linked on their names above.
Saturday the Frankford Garden Club held their annual Mother’s Day plant sale in front of our Free Library Branch on Frankford Avenue. Business was booming and its no wonder because the value of the plants compared to the prices was outstanding. This group of folks is rebuilding Frankford, one plant at a time.

The Frankford Garden Club does one fund raiser a year but it is a big one. This Saturday (May7th), in front of the Free Library branch at Frankford and Overington, you can make Mother’s Day special and support the Garden Club.
From Kimberly Washington, Esq. President:
Thank you to all the volunteers who participated in our cleanup on Saturday, April 2nd. I would like to especially thank the women from the Frankford Garden Club who did all of the gardening for both of our parks and the Frankford CDC for distributing recycling bins to residents. If you have gone by Wilmot park you will notice that the installation of the playground equipment has begun. We will be meeting again on Saturday, April 16th for the Luv Your Park Clean-Up from 10:00am until 1:00pm. We really need more volunteers from the community to participate.
On Saturday we will be painting the basketball court in Wilmot as well as cutting the grass and removing all the trash and debris from both parks. Hopefully we can count on the community residents to help us with this project.
Our next meeting will be on Monday, April 18th 2011 at 6:00pm at 2nd Baptist Church (1801 Meadow Street). Hope to see you all there.
