Garden Club chronicles twenty years of Monahans beautification
The Desert Sands Garden Club met January 5 to review two decades of work since its 1961 founding. Members highlighted landmark projects including landscaping the Sandhills Museum area, the West Texas Children’s Home at Pyote, the Ward County Library, downtown planters, and the Chamber of Commerce Building yard. The club earned top honors in state and national beautification contests and contributed to community events such as the annual Tasting Tea and Style Show and the Freedom Fair. Valuable support came from local media, ranchers, and civic groups.
