Hope everyone is taking advantage of this beautiful weather and potting up (and labeling) plants for the the annual Plant Swap and Sale this Saturday!

Reminder that you DO NOT have to bring plants to participate! This event is the only fundraiser for the Ft. Wright Garden Club each year and a great way to find reliable plants that are growing in our gardens!

Thank you, Glenn Caminiti, for all you do to serve the citizens of the City of Fort Wright!
