LEWISBURG, W.Va. (WVDN) – In mid-May, the Bluebell Garden Club completed three community service projects.
For the annual downtown Lewisburg merchant project, 41 floral entrance displays were created by club members at 14 locations following a coordinated harmonious design plan. The color scheme of the presentations was in keeping with the color selections of the Lewisburg in Bloom committee.
In addition to businesses, the Greenbrier County Visitors Center, Lee Street Studios, the Greenbrier County Public Library, Carnegie Hall and the New River Community and Technical College campus were included in the merchant project.
The second Bluebell project was the spring beautification of the “triangle” at the intersection of Route 219 and Holt Lane. For over 50 years, the club has maintained and planted trees, flowers and shrubs at this traffic-heavy location.
Recent awards were received by the Bluebell Garden Club from the West Virginia Garden Club Inc. for the triangle garden and from the South Atlantic Region National Garden Clubs Inc. for the club’s roadside improvement efforts.
The third project was at Old Stone Cemetery where the club maintains two plots. This spring, the Caldwell plot was enhanced with a butterfly garden. The club also received a recent Historic Preservation Award from the West Virginia Garden Club for work in beautifying and maintaining these cemetery plots.
