Durham Council of Garden Clubs awards outstanding members

The Durham Council of Garden Clubs presented its 2011-2012 Outstanding Achievement Awards to three of its member clubs at the recent Nov. 6 meeting. Award recipients included: Town & Country Garden Club (large club), Daylily Garden Club (medium-sized club), and Heritage Garden Club (small-sized club). The chosen garden clubs provided gardening and beautification expertise to a number of Durham area charitable projects such as the Durham VA Hospital Poinsettia Project, the Briggs Ave. Community Garden, scholarships in Agriculture majors, and many members volunteer at Duke Gardens or as Master Gardeners.
