Members of the volunteer club pitched in to dig up invasive knotweed and plant new perennials at Fort Williams. The club connected with Virginia Weiss’s (CEHS Junior) mom Andrea Southworth who volunteers with the Friends of Fort Williams.
The group spent 3 ½ hours pulling weeds and planting perennial to stabilize a bank near the park entrance. The group then moved to the children’s garden and pruned perennials.
