4-H clubs learns
about landscaping
by Secretary - Cheryl Lapp
The Auburn “Let's Landscape”
4H club has been very busy work
ing and thinking up some sort of
project. They have been taking
examples of landscapes and dis
cussing what is good and bad in
each picture.
Leaders Betty Archambault and
Helen Lapp, helped members learn
about not cluttering an area with
flowers, trees, etc. Also, it is good
to have a balance such as a tree on
either side of the house not just one
side. Some practical ideas have
been gained by fixing Helen's flow
er beds, doing something on their
own, or helping the Aubum Horti
culture Club.
The Achievement will be May 14
at the Aubum Hall.
