Center Garden Club has a new community project that will focus on the beauty and wonders of nature by featuring Shelby County’s variety of plants.  Biweekly, the club’s civic committee will choose a plant to feature as “One Wonder” among the many throughout Shelby County.  The first selection is the large pyracantha (or firethorn) shrub located on the terrace at 303 Tenaha Street in Center, Texas, the home of Toni Crowley.  Ms Crowley noted that the magnificent berries of the pyracantha (or firethorn), transition from yellow to orange to red in the fall and winter.  As we should expect now, it is beautifully ablaze for all who pass by on Tenaha Street.

 

 

Center Garden Club meets at noon on the second Wednesday each month September through May and welcomes guests.  Call Carolyn Bounds for further information  (598-3414).
