Canton Library garden wins state award
The Canton Library’s Giving Garden got some state recognition by nabbing the “best adult program” award from the North Carolina Public Library Directors Association.
The garden was the backdrop for a variety of programs at the Canton library throughout the year, including several gardening talks, author visits and workshops. The harvest from the garden goes to those in need.
“Congratulations to Mannie Crone and all of the volunteers involved that made this such a wonderful program and asset for the Canton community,” said Sharon Woodrow, director of Haywood County Public Library. “This program took a lot of planning and cooperation from many organizations.”
Supporters of the project include the Haywood County Master Gardeners, Haywood County Cooperative Extension, Haywood County local government, Friends of the Library and the Master Gardener’s Volunteer Association.
