On June 26, the Folk Heritage Association/Women’s History Trail completed the final stages to beautify the town’s Women’s History Park.
In March 2024, FHAMC and the Town of Franklin opened the park.
Almost a year later, the dream of creating a native plant garden has become a reality, thanks to donations of time, money and materials from the community.
The Native Plant Garden included clethra/summer sweet, wild hydrangea, rhododendron, leucothoe/dog hobble, amsonia/blue start cone flowers, black eyed susans, switch grasses and more that will continue to bring lots of vibrant color throughout the year and flourish under the town’s care as owners and overseers of the park.
