One of the many ways the Belfast Garden Club contributes to the community is through their annual donation of horticultural and environmental books to the Belfast Free Library. Sometimes the books cover scientific topics, such as fungi and climate change, while others are how-to in nature.
“Children’s books on these topics are hard to find, but 41 books have been donated so far,” said the Club, in a news release.
While 126 adult books have been placed, the actual number is much higher, according to Allison Beards, Club Historian. She says additional books over the years have been donated as member memorials.
