Village Garden Awards
by J. F. Weiler
The Garden Committee is pleased to announce the 2011 Awards. We enjoyed seeing the many, many fine flower and vegetable gardens throughout the Village. The gardens certainly make the Village a more pleasant condominium to live in. We wish to thank all the Village gardeners for their work.

The Best Garden is at the rear of 81 Pierce Road. Pat Power's three-season
cottage garden has a delightful selection of flowers. Pat's choice of
flowers, their size, colors and diverse shapes, enhances her garden. Her sign
"Grow Happiness" describes what many of the Village gardeners experience.
Pat will receive the Village Condominium Association award of $50. Congrats
to Pat!
