We are so excited that our major project for the year has been completed! This year the Holden Beach Beautification Club repaired the irrigation systems in the Town’s gardens which we plant and care for. The systems were very old and not functioning correctly and either didn’t provide water or provided too much water. The project was completed just in time. New blooming perennials will be planted next week followed by seasonal summer annuals in a few weeks. As gardeners, we know how critical water is to the plants in our sandy soils. Congratulations to Landscaping Co-Chair Carol Ann Lohman for shepherding this project to completion along with Co-Chairs Tia Hegarty and Vicki Myers.
Tomorrow morning HBBC will be sponsoring a booth at the Holden Beach Farmers Market beside Anaya on the Causeway. Come see us Saturday between 10-3 for herbs, veggie plants, beautiful flowering plants, painted pots, and more! All the profits from this sale will be used to help us care for the garden areas on Holden Beach. Hope to see you there!
