A group working to keep Fort Frances beautiful celebrating a milestone.
This is the 50th year for the Fort Frances Horticultural Society
President Judy Koski says they’re responsible for a number of areas around town.
“We do keep up a few flower beds here and there. At the CN station, there’s also the Good Neighbour Sign out by McDonald’s Restaurant. We also assist here at the library and at Rainycrest,” says Koski.
The club, which numbers about 50 members, gathered at the Fort Frances Library for a weekend tea in celebration.
Koski says the love for gardening is what keeps them going.
“Everybody loves their flowers, everybody loves to beautify their homes and their gardens, and everybody loves their vegetables in the summertime. There’s lots of gardeners out there so I think that’s why we’ve been in business for such a long time.”
And new members are always welcome to join.
We met the meet at the Fort Frances Senior Center on the fourth Monday at 6:30 PM. Anyone is welcome to attend.
Koski says they often have guest speakers at their meetings to discuss various gardening-related topics.
