(Chelsea Update would like to thank Cheryl Wells for the information in this story.)
The Chelsea Area Garden Club (CAGC) will be holding a new fundraiser at the Nov.10 pop-up Farmers Market from 11 a.m.-3:30 p.m. at the Chelsea Depot.
An assortment of Fall and Winter Birchbark arrangements and baskets will be sold to support the CAGC grant and scholarship programs. Suggested donations will be posted. Credit cards accepted.
CAGC club information is available at our website chelseagardenclub.com. The grant form will be posted online by mid-January. Applicants in the CAGC service area of Chelsea and western Washtenaw County will be given preference.
The CAGC encourages non-profits, schools, churches, and businesses to apply for a grant provided their activity serves a community purpose and benefit. This year’s recipients included the Chelsea Intergenerational Garden, Silver Maples Memorial Garden, St Joseph’s Giving Garden for FIA and St Louis Garden Growth program: A Journey of Transformation. Two Chelsea High School seniors received scholarships last June.
The garden club also provides a book selection at the Chelsea District Library for children and adults and a magazine subscription. This year’s theme is Gardening for a Brighter Future, books that feature sustainable concepts, like seed saving and sharing, native plants, home-seeding, and re-habitating outdoor spaces.
