Cathy Broutsas LINDEN GARDEN We have experienced another hot humid month of North Carolina weather. The weeds have certainly grown because they have received a lot of rain water. The flowers and shrubs are blooming and look great on the corner. An eblast asking for helpers to clean up the garden last Thursday was sent to the members. This is strictly a volunteer job and I appreciate all the help I received. Jane Waldemar
