ARBOR DAY PLANTING - The Cottonwood Garden Club planted five Crape Myrtles in the small park on Front Street across from the post office in Cottonwood. The garden club has maintained the park for 50 years. The Crape Myrtles planted were also memorials for the lost loved ones of club members Jayne Smith and Irma Hampton. Smith is pictured with Bruce Stratton who helped with the planting. La Saine Ware, President of the Cottonwood Garden Club, said that she wants to see year-round color at the park. Daffodils and Forsythia bloom in spring. The Crape Myrtles bloom in summer and fall. The Pyracantha trees, which were planted years ago, show red in the wintertime.
