Cumming Garden Club revives neglected courtyard
Members clear out overgrown area
0509-Garden-new
Cumming Garden Club members revitalized the courtyard of the old hospital on Samaritan Road in Forsyth County recently. The outdoor area was overgrown with dead grass and bushes, but looked like new after a few hours.
CUMMING — Cumming Garden Club members have helped create a new place for little ones to play and learn. About 10 volunteers from the club, which has been an active part of civic life in Forsyth County for 54 years, spent several hours recently chopping, trimming, pruning and replanting in a courtyard area used by the Ninth District Opportunity Head Start facility. Originally a part of the old hospital on Samaritan Road — which houses Head Start, a federally funded educational program for children in low-income households, and several other local nonprofits — the courtyard area had become overgrown and unusable.
