CAMDEN — Camden Garden Club’s second Clean-Up Day will take place Monday, May 20, at 9 a.m., to continue beautifying the public spaces of Camden Village. All are welcome to join garden club members.

Initially, Camden Garden Club members gathered at the Village Green and newly adopted Mechanic Street Garden for winter clean-up. Rhododendrons and roses got some much-needed trimming and fertilizing after the long winter, according to the Garden Club, in a news release. New members joined long-standing club gardeners for edging and general maintenance of the shrub border across the back of the Green. 

The second phase of the gardening day was clearing and preparing the double-level planters at the Mechanic Street Garden.

“Working with the Camden community is part of the Club's mission statement,” said the Club. “Eager gardeners enjoy working together to beautify the village.”
