If you heard all the noise at the South First Street gazebo in Fulton the other morning, that was the Fulton Garden Club at work!
The Club worked with the city last year to identify garden areas to work on in conjunction with the City of Fulton - Parks & Recreation The gazebo area rose to the top of the list. So a few club members found the AARP Community Challenge grant application and applied.
Believe it or not we were one of only 310 grantees selected out of 3,600+ applications from across all 50 states, Washington D.C, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands!
With this quick-action grant we will be making improvements to the Fulton east side gazebo where Junes in Tunes are held as well as many other community events. We started by power washing the gazebo and grounds to ready the area for painting and planting.
Working on the project are Judy Tracy, Michael Peterson, Jim O'Brien and Deb Pelkey.
The Garden Club thanks Fulton Block Builders for submitting the grant on their behalf.
