The Seniors Garden Therapy Group (at Comstock) and the Girl Scouts are excited to be part of the flower show as well representing beneficiaries of the outreach program. There are free, scheduled lectures and demonstrations presented by the Club members on Friday and Saturday (September 16 and 17) during the flower show.
