Wild Flowers at the Library
Beginning in May, there will be an ongoing and constantly changing wildflower table in the library. The table will display wildflowers in bloom in the Peacham area. The exhibit will draw upon the knowledge of Joan Churchill, longtime Peacham resident and wildflower enthusiast, for identification and historical comment. For more information, or if you are interested in helping with this project, please contact the library, Kalanani Gallas or Ken Kraus.
