Village Condominium Association

Spring at Last!
by J. F. Weiler

Volunteers are needed for the Garden Committee to help choose the best Village gardens. We will tour the gardens as a group three times; once each on a June, July and August Sunday evening. There are two prizes for the Best Garden. The Village Condominium Association provides a $50 award and Wilson Farm in Lexington will provide a $25 gift certificate for their Garden Shop. To join us please contact Debby at the office; phone 617-923-1684 or e-mail at dwholley@nilesco.com. Or contact me at WeilerPhotoGallery@comcast.net. It is a fun experience!
