The comments over some decorating on Seventh Avenue have been positive and steady since the Garden Club went to work last week.
Many Keremeos residents are apparently delighted at the Garden Club’s initiative.
The group lined Seventh Avenue’s planters with decorative scarecrows last Thursday, adding a harvest theme to the main street.
The eye catching assemblies catch the attention of passers by and residents alike, and give the village a character and flavour that was otherwise lacking.
The Garden Club are to be congratulated, both for the effort they have put into this initiative (in addition to assembling the scarecrows, members collect and place the decorations each evening and morning to prevent them from being vandalized) as well as for their creativity.
It’s an example of how small things can enhance a community, as well as being an example of what citizens can do without government input - or interference - to enhance the community and lift the spirits.
Congratulations on a job well done, Garden Club.
