Garden Club Goes Local at Spring Show

There were photographs, horticulture clippings, flower arrangements and information about conservation and locally grown food. There was even a place for children's floral arrangements and little plant seedlings to take home. And outside, there was Jimmy "The Capman" Strahla's bottle cap truck, with a tasty vegetable garden blooming in the truck bed. When the Junior Ladies Garden Club has a flower show, they leave no root, or category, unturned or untouched. Held at the Bottleworks on Prince, the Spring Show, "Locally Grown," drew a steady stream of spectators Thursday afternoon. They marveled at the blooms, studied the flower arrangements and hurried home with plants in tiny paper sacks they just had to get into the ground.
