We "Planted it Pink" for Spring

We "Planted it Pink" at Progress West HealthCare Center

What a spring we have had!  Fleur de Lis Garden Society members refreshed the "Plant It Pink" planter at BJC Progress West HealthCare Center in O'Fallon, Mo. with a pink spring design. The planter can be seen by passersby outside the cafeteria and from Hwy 40.

To provide encouragement and a note of cheer to women dealing with breast cancer, the "Plant it Pink" project was initiated in 2009 by the National Garden Clubs, Inc. President Renee Blaschke, of which Fleur de Lis Garden Society is a member. Club members keep the planter "in the pink" by planting new flowers appropriate for each season.

The Fleur de Lis Garden Society holds monthly meetings and also meets for additional programs, trips and projects. Drop-ins and new members are  welcome. For more information, visit www.fleurdelisgardensociety.org, or contact 2012 Membership Chairman, Jean Davis at 314-605-8563.
