Marigold Mile community service project

Have you admired the wonderful display of marigolds along the sidewalk of Fox Valley Nursery and St. Elizabeth Hospital on South Oneida Street in Appleton? Fox Valley Nursery sponsors the Marigold Mile with volunteer help. This year, they need more help. Most of the planting is completed, but an hour or two here and there weeding and watering would be a great way to pick up some service hours. So stop by Fox Valley Nursery at 1425 S. Oneida St., and ask for Joe or Todd or call 920-734-4081 for details.

Coordinate bus trips
The OCMGA typically sponsors a summer trip to visit botanical gardens and nurseries. Why not coordinate one of the trips this year? It’s a great way to accumulate service hours. Please contact Meg Hunsader if you are interested in volunteering or learning more about it.
