During the month of December, the Pine Forest Garden Club goes out at night to look for homes and businesses that are beautifully decorated for the Christmas holidays. There are so many beautifully decorated homes and businesses this year that it was a difficult decision. After much deliberation, the Garden of the Month committee chose the Appling Hope Center as the December Garden of the Month.
The Appling Hope Center is located at 94 Dean St. The house is decorated both inside and out. It will be open to tour after the parade on December 13. All the decorations and electricity were donated. The decorating was all done by volunteers. The Appling Hope Center is a non-profit organization serving others who struggle with food insecurity. Those they serve are 60% elderly and disabled; 30%, young families working full-time minimum wage jobs, and 10%, homeless. The Garden Club highly recommends driving around and seeing the many decorated yards. We invite everyone to like Pine Forest Garden Club on Facebook to find out more about the club’s activities.
