Members of the Garden Club of Orange have begun planting orange flowers around town in celebration of Orange’s bicentennial celebration this year. Orange tulips and daffodils will begin popping up soon, and the planting of orange annuals will begin in May.
The club encourages residents to help “plant the town orange” by planting orange flowers in their own front yards or in pots on their stoops so that the plants are visible from the street. Area garden centers are being encouraged to stock up on orange flowers this year, and club will be having its annual plant sale on May 7, the Saturday before Mother’s Day.
