Poole's Mill Park Events

---

On May 5, the Welch Mill Exhibit, which explains much of the history of Poole's Mill, was dedicated in the park.  Linda Hardie and Heidi Stuckman joined Forsyth County Historical  Society directors Martha and Jimmy McConnell

and Forsyth County historian George Pirkle.

In celebration of Earth Week (April 16-22), 26 members of the International

Club of Forsyth Central High School, along with their teachers,

helped with Poole's Mill garden cleanup.  

Along with spreading pine straw mulch and removing tree limb debris, Central High's International Club erected a wren's birdhouse,

which was built and donated by

Forsyth County Naturalists.

with Forsyth County Master Gardeners in maintaining this space.

(Linda Hardie and Chuck Baumrucker

 also assisted with cleanup.)

Juliet Foster (cameo), community garden coordinator for UGA Master Gardeners, will be updating plant labels. She made a survey while Tricia Wester and Linda Hardie did some pruning and cleanup this July.
