The Thompson Memorial Crocus Lawn Planting Day

BySt Mary Anne Admin
A Focus on Crocus!
Please join in for our
Parish Planting Day!
Saturday, October 24 from 11-4PM
(rain date Nov. 7)
Thanks to the generosity of many, we have 10,000 crocus bulbs to plant for The Thompson Memorial Crocus Lawn in memory of Diane and Jim Thompson, founder’s of the St. Mary Anne’s Garden Market.
Even if you didn’t purchase bulbs for this activity, we need lots of planters to help plant them around the perimeter of the church and our historic graves. The bulbs are easy to plant, and it is a nice safe activity for couples and families.
Please join in to help us that day!
