The Brownwood Garden Club, federated in 1930, begins their 2022-23 year on Thursday, September 15 at 11:30 AM at Southside Baptist.

After a light luncheon, hosted by Loretta Carter and Carol Deal, and a short business meeting, members are looking forward to their featured program: “Backyard Wildlife Habitat” by Olivia Kost from Texas Parks & Wildlife.

As a service organization for the Brown County area, the club selects a project for each month. For September, members will bring school supplies for students in need at a local school. Among other monthly projects, members maintain two flower beds at the Veteran’s Memorial Park, prepare bud vases for nursing home residents, collect cans for Good Samaritan and Salvation Army, and donate supplies for the Corrine Animal Shelter as well as an annual plant sale.

“If you love gardening, wildlife, and service, we hope you will join the Garden Club family. Dues are $20 for the entire year and you may join at any of the meetings, which are held the 3rd Thursday of every month from September through May.”
