Much as area farmers have planting on their mind this time of year, so too do members of the Jackson Garden Club, though on a slightly smaller scale.
Founded so long ago nobody can quite remember when, the Jackson Garden Club has a long history of service to the community of Jackson. At present, club members tend gardens around a historical monument in Jackson and at Fort Belmont, the community’s interstate-side tourist attraction. The club for years has hosted a spring plant sale. And, as a member of the Minnesota State Horticultural Society, the club takes its turn hosting the spring convention.
The club meets the second Tuesday of every month from May through October and is currently on the lookout for new members.
“Our membership is small, but mighty,” said club member Sue Schrader. “But we’d like to add some new faces to the mix.”
