r tulations to the clubs that applied to the VFGC Grant Program
with projects that will beautify their communities. We want these brief
descriptions to inspire other clubs to plan a community beautification or
restoration project for which a financial boost from VFGC would make a
difference. Please read on, then imagine your own project!
Cong a
received $1,000 for updating plantings at
the entrance to the South Boston – Halifax County Museum of Fine Arts
and History. Plantings for this project will highlight America’s 250th
Anniversary. Five large outdoor planters were planted with Dwar f Alberta
Spruce evergreens early in December. What a difference this has already
made for the Museum!
South Boston Garden Club (SC)
received $800 to extend the public
garden that serves as entrance/ focal point for the Asbury Church Road
Community. Extending the garden will generate more attention to the
Road and provide beauty and traffic safety in the area. Congratulations
to this relatively new VFGC garden club! This enthusiastic club continues
to grow their plans for the plantings that will be included in the garden.
Rose and Garden Club of Halifax (SC)
received $1,000 for landscaping of the
historic Nor folk & Southern Depot which was moved to an area being
