Francine Costner, president of the garden club, Phelicia Corpening and Janie Giles were able to meet and do some replanting of the boxes.

It was a wonderful day as many shoppers stopped to chat and that is the beauty of a small town, such as Landrum, always warm and inviting. The club ended its project with lunch at the Harvest House.

Mid-September the club had its first meeting at Campbell’s Covered Bridge. They enjoyed a picnic lunch prepared by Joyce Prince and Charlotte Hamrick. Joe Hamrick was the guest speaker and he shared some history about Campbell’s Covered Bridge.
