Geneva Beautification Committee Looks For Volunteers To Adopt Gardens

GENEVA, IL — The Geneva Beautification Committee is looking for volunteers to adopt an open garden this planting season.

Anyone interested in gardening, be it a resident, an organization or a group, can adopt and maintain planting beds and hanging baskets in the Geneva's Central Business District. Volunteers plant a wide range of flowers three times a year in order to enhance the city.

Volunteers also clean, deadhead, weed, prune and water their gardens during the growing season.

"For those who love getting dirty and watching the fruits of their labor turn into something beautiful, then you are the type of gardener the Beautification Committee is seeking," officials said in a news release.

No experience is necessary to join as experienced gardeners on the committee "would love to have additional helping hands to join them."

To join, those interested should email Kristie Dienst at ksdienst@yahoo.com.
