The recently formed Manchester Area Garden Club needs volunteers to help refurbish the gardens at the Kingsley-Jenter House located at 302 East Main Street, home of the Manchester Area Historical Society. They’ve set up two work sessions to do the digging, raking, and pruning needed. The first is Monday, April 8 from 5 to 8 pm. The second is Friday, April 12 from 5 to 8 pm. You do not have to come right at 5 pm; show up whenever you can and please bring gardening gloves and tools if you are able.

The new garden club is a grass roots effort that hopes to make our community more attractive, in public and private spaces. Their first project is to improve the landscape around the Kingsley-Jenter House. Their next regular meeting is Thursday, April 18 at 7 pm at Kingsley-Jenter House, 302 E. Main Street. Everyone is welcome to attend.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
