A garden club’s labor becomes Halloween magic

Posted

Dear Editor,

The Lewisboro Garden Club would like to thank the Meadow Pond PTO for spreading such ghoulish joy through Onatru the night before Halloween. Several years ago, the Lewisboro Garden Club established the Meadow, cleared invasive plants to create Turtle Island with trails that wind past an oak and maple that are over 200 years old and even created an arch by recycling a trampoline and wrapping it with grape vines.

With the help of JJHS seniors, we made steps through a stone wall to connect more trails and a wooden bridge. Children run through the trails, go under the web-covered arch, discover a bridge and say "let's go through the maze" as they head to the Mini Meadow.

Thank you for utilizing the fruits of our labor; it was a joy to see so many families enjoying these special areas of Onatru and look forward to next Halloween.

Please join the Lewisboro Garden Club's Winter Solstice Celebration at Onatru on Dec. 20 at 6:30 p.m. Walk the lights, come see magical lights in the Meadow and Turtle Island areas of the park on Saturday, Dec. 26, Sunday, Dec. 27 and Thursday, Dec. 31, from 5 to 6 p.m., weather permitting.

Mary Ann Lansdale, president of the Lewisboro Garden Club
