The Orange Lions Club has given a $75 grant to the Garden Club of Orange.
Lions Club Community Grants Committee Co-Chairs Nick Musante and Mihael Muttitt, presented the check to Linda Bradford, President of the Garden Club, and Ellie Torello, Horticulture Co-Chair, at a Lions Club reception in March.
The grant will be used to purchase metal markers and labels for the kitchen herb garden at the historic Stone Otis House located in the center of town. The herb garden was recently restored under the direction of Maryellen Bespuda and members of the Garden Club. The addition of permanent markers will allow visitors to easily identify the 26 varieties of herbs planted.
For Garden Club membership information, call Joanne Friedrichs at 203-795-4244.
