Fall is a good time to garden Contributed by Tammi Rogers
WATERING Carol Bobbitt volunteered her time to water container plants at Roscoe Village. Pat Welsh, featured on this issue’s cover also volunteered her time to help the Roscoe Village Landscape Department. Places like Roscoe Vil-lage, Clary Gardens and Lake Park often look for volunteers to help care for their gardens. You can contact the local establishments to find out when volunteer op-portunities are available. BOOMER TIMES PHOTO BY JOSIE McCORMICK
PULLING WEEDS Debbie Corder helped keep the gardens at Roscoe Village neat and tidy. Volunteers will be needed at the Village again this spring, but there is still plenty of gardening to do in the fall around your own home. BOOMER TIMES PHOTO BY JOSIE McCORMICK
