Garden Club District II Donates Book to Jean Lafitte Library
Reba Mackey (second from right), District II Director of the Louisiana Garden Club Federation, presents a copy of the book “The Saved Seed” to the Jean Lafitte Branch Library. The Saved Seed is the National Garden Club's second early reader book written to educate elementary children about the life cycle of seed plants. The distribution of the book to children’s libraries is a part of the Plant America program of President Nancy L. Hargroves of the National Garden Clubs, Incorporated. Every affiliated garden club in Louisiana is also a member of the national organization and is supportive of the national goals. Accepting the book for the library is Timothy P. Kerner (Center), Mayor of Jean Lafitte. Looking on from the far left is Lena Bateman, President of the Louisiana Garden Club Federation, and from the far right, Jean Gilstrap, LGCF Chairman of the Cleanest City Contest. Mayor Kerner thanked the garden club organization for the donation and praised the work of the garden clubs and their leadership for their beautification, litter removal, and educational efforts.
