Downtown DeLand Beautification Planting and Monthly Maintenance
"Beautifying DeLand One Seed at a Time"
The Garden Club of DeLand gathers three times a year to plant 68 container gardens, 16 of these are pedestals, One Saturday out of each month, a group of volunteers "The Downtown Planters" from the Garden Club meet to weed, tweak, and evaluate the condition of each container garden. All month long, as time allows, each Garden Club Circle checks on their assigned containers and reports issues to the chair.
