Library Rose Garden Care
he Environment Committee of HSL held a “clean up day” at the Hart County Library on February 15, 2022. The rose beds were weeded, sprayed, mulched, and the plants pruned. This is an ongoing project as the roses were originally planted and maintained by the Environment Committee. Throughout the year, the roses are watered, weeded and fertilized as needed. This year for the first time a general cleanup of the library grounds was done: trees pruned, trash picked up, and the grounds were sprayed for weed control. Afterwards members had lunch at a local restaurant allowing time for members to interact outside a club meeting and providing a boost to the local economy.
Our Tote Bags
The Environment Committee, with some help from Arts and Cuture, created these stylish and useful tote bags for each member. The repurposed feed bags are great for holding groceries. The one pictured was used as a travel tote on a member's trip to the Virgin Islands.
Now that's a fun recycling project!
