The Laurel Garden Club’s civic improvement and conservation committees recently hosted a work day at the construction site of the new Laurel-Jones County Visitors’ Center on Leontyne Price Boulevard.
Club members cleaned and spruced up the grounds beyond the planned landscape areas. The club partnered through the Garden Club of America’s Partner for Plants grant it received to promote the use of native plants in landscape design. A three-year commitment from the club will help secure more grant support for the visitors’ center’s native and pollinator plantings.

“We are so appreciative that the Laurel Council of Garden Clubs chose to assist with our new visitors’ center,” Laurel Mayor Johnny Magee said. “This facility has truly been a community-wide effort, and we thank everyone who has and continues to play a part in its completion.”
