Shelby Gardeners’ Club Celebrates the Return of the Sun

The Shelby Gardeners’ Club appreciates the splendor of each season. As spring transitions into summer, we take pride in the natural beauty of our township and the surrounding communities.

The club is now searching for garden enthusiasts who reside in Shelby or neighboring cities for the 2016 Bi-Annual  Walk. Slated for mid-July, the Garden Committee is reviewing a variety of local vistas.

Are you interested in sharing your garden with the public, or would you like to recommend a garden? For consideration in our next eagerly anticipated walk, please contact Karen McCuen, President (586.786.0816), Jan Kennedy, Programming (586.781.2821) or Ivy Schwartz, Publicity (586.781.6742).

In addition to hosting community lectures at the Shadbush Nature Center, the club maintains the beautiful Heritage Gardens on the township’s municipal grounds. The club also engages in community service projects. This season the gardeners are making craft projects for Regency Manor nursing home in Utica.

We are actively engaged in growing our gardens and our club. If you are considering joining us, please contact Linda Wojtowicz, Membership (586.781.8361).
