Nelsonville Garden Club Replants Fountain Area
Nelsonville garden club members replanted the fountain area in the Public Square for summer color. A four member committee with Carl Lanning, noted by Mayor Earl Hilleary, planted blue morning glories atop the fountain and red geraniums with petunias in the circular base. The club has cared for the central square for years, with tulips in spring and purple prunus shrubs and roses along the borders. Raymond Burt donated the geraniums from Burt Greenhouse, and Mayor Hilleary assisted with a city helper.
