Members of the Bow Garden Club held a “drive-by” event for Bow children on June 7 and 13 in recognition of National Garden Week. Bow families were encouraged to drive through the Bow Community Center parking lot during pre-scheduled hours and pick up a planting kit for each of their kids, compliments of the Bow Garden Club.
The “potential young gardeners” were invited to choose from one of several different colored plastic pots, each containing a pre-measured bag of potting soil and seeds to plant. Packets of flower, vegetable and herb seeds were available for them to choose from and instructions were included!
The event was extremely popular, with 172 planting kits being picked up and taken home to plant.
The garden club appreciated all the participants’ respecting appropriate social distancing and wearing cloth masks.
