The Warwick Valley Gardeners has made its annual book donation to the three libraries in the Town of Warwick.
In total, nine adult gardening books and three children’s books have been added to the library stacks. The committee worked with the libraries to find compatible books for the local communities.
Warwick Valley Gardeners are a not for profit organization which maintains nine gardens in the Village and Town of Warwick.
The Gardeners also decorate Railroad Green for the holidays, award an annual scholarship and provide garden therapy to the residents of a long-term care facility.
Meanwhile, the organization could use the public’s support. All of the group’s donations to the community are funded through yearly events, like the Annual Garden Tour, which have been cancelled this year due to COVID precautions.
For membership information or to make a donation, visit www.warwickvalleygardners.org or any donations may be sent to PO Box 562, Warwick NY 10990
