September 24, 2011: Members E.J. Truax and David Healy volunteered at the
CSX booth to demonstrate the planting of spring-flowering bulbs to festival goers at the
Barracks Row Fall Festival. As part of its
community outreach and
green initiative, CSX was a festival sponsor and donated Darwin tulips and King Alfred daffodils for planting along 8th Street SE.
Festival goers were asked to plant a bulb in a 1-pint cup for eventual replanting in the community. After planting a bulb for the community, participants were invited to take a bulb home for themselves. This gimmick was as popular with adults, as it was with children. Several participants requested information about our garden club.
