YOU JUST CAN'T STOP THE CROTON VILLAGE GARDEN CLUB, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON. 

FROM THE EVERYTHING CROTON MAILBOX: A MESSAGE FROM RICHARD ZUMBACH....

But...before we begin--and because it cannot be said enough--a VERY BIG EVERYTHING CROTON SHOUT-OUT to the volunteers of The Croton Village Garden Club. Your work this year has been nothing short of OUTSTANDING--thank you for your service in making those neglected village properties really come back to life!

AND NOW A WORD FROM RICHARD ZUMBACH:

Garden Club, I trust everyone has had a great summer and that all your gardens have been enjoyable, fruitful and beautiful. I know I’ve mentioned in prior emails the new garden on Van Wyck Street, and the completion of the Croton Landing flagpole garden that club members worked on earlier in the summer. The Sunset Park garden was also replanted a number of weeks ago thanks to the efforts of Susan Mislove Donnelly and Molly Lemeris. It needed replanting because a very bad winter killed many of the plants that where planted last year. It looks great again and significantly adds to the beauty of that area of the village.

Here is a date to put on your calendar,  Daffodil Day…October 17 at the Duck Pond--Editor's Note, click on the link http://bit.ly/1KfSA2x

As has been organized since 2001 to remember 9/11, the CCAC  sponsors this get together to plant daffodils. This year it will be at the Duck Pond Park. Come and be part of the event, or as garden club members  have done in the past, pick up an amount  of daffodil bulbs that you would like to plant somewhere in the village. The location is up to you. After all these years the Village looks great in the spring, and it will look even better with some new plantings. It’s up to you!! And I know that lots of people appreciate our effort when the daffodils make Croton beautiful in the spring.

THIS MONTH'S MEETING HAS BEEN CANCELLED. We still have the support of the village and funds available, so if you have some garden or planting ideas for the coming planting season, let me know by email and we will make it happen. Our next meeting will be the third thursday in October at the library. See you then….… Making Croton beautiful, one garden at a time.  rdzumbach@yahoo.com

  1. So grateful for the volunteers who do this. Without them all you'd see is weed patches for the most part. Thank you guys for your service. J
