Spring Flower Project

Each Spring MCDF fills the community planters with beautiful flowers that brighten the Village through Summer and into Autumn.  It takes an incredible team to accomplish this, including people who donate to sponsor a planter, others who plant the plants, and more who volunteer to water all summer.  Karen Wackerly and Sandy Moeglin are the project Co-Chairwomen. In 2025, the following people are helping to make this all happen.
