The weather may be getting colder but the Hillsdale Garden Club is far from hibernation.
Members were busy Friday in Stock’s Park working to complete one of many ongoing projects. Two large flower beds are being planted that will flank the entrance just inside the main opening.
“I had wanted to put a planter here, and it also guides people as to where the road is, otherwise they pull in and they drive over the sprinkler heads,” club member and master gardener Dianne Miller said.
The planter is the latest in a series of projects in the park. the bridge that now spans the park’s small pond was purchased by the club last year and a perennial garden was planted as well.
The two large beds by the main entrance are ringed with large rocks that were reclaimed from the Root Cellar church that burned to the ground on Howell Street. Dogwood trees and other flowers will find a home in the beds once spring rolls around.
