If you have ever wondered why downtown Schroon and our surrounding public areas look so good with their planted flower boxes, beds and pots, it ain't the work of fairies. It is however work of the angels of the Schroon Lake Beautification Committee, who take it upon themselves to use their green thumbs to make the public gardens of Schroon grow and glow!

Nancy Harste tells us that committee will begin its planting season in the days ahead. From Nancy:

"The Committee invites and encourages new members to join with us to plan and work to keep our town looking wonderful. The Committee is responsible for beautiful gardens, such as the Bicentennial Garden, the Boathouse Gardens, and Town Hall gardens, and planters of flowers found throughout the Town".

It's a fun crew, and they are always looking for volunteers. So reach out to Nancy via email -- harste@verizon.net -- if you can help.

And here are the garden tips -- really fun ideas for the backyard -- we promised you in our headline!
