Our 5th annual plant sale fundraiser was a huge success! The event was held at the Dracut Historical Society on Saturday, June 6th. Eager customers were scoping out plants before we even finished setting up! We had a wide selection of perennials, annuals, trees and shrubs, herbs, vegetables and unique floral arrangements. Gardening containers of all types, fertilizer, and handmade garden flags were also available for purchase this year. We raffled off a beautiful, locally-made adirondack chair, and container gardens artfully designed by our members. Thanks to all who donated and purchased plants to support our non-profit club.

More Recognition for our Blue Star Memorial By-Way Marker
At the GCFM Annual meeting, The Dracut Garden Club was honored with 2 more awards for last summer's Civic Development Project -- the site restoration, establishment, and placement of a Blue Star Memorial By-Way Marker at a Dracut intersection. The Air Force Sgt. Daniel Robert Turner Square was re-dedicated in July 2014. We are proud to have this project recognized by the Garden Club Federation of Massachusetts and the National Garden Club.

Weeding
There's a word to make us groan, but it's important to get rid of weeds because they compete with your flowers for valuable resources such as soil nutrients and water. You should pull out weeds by the roots. This is easier to do when the ground is damp after a rain or after you've watered.
