Garden Club announces “Downtown Beautification”
In observance of Groesbeck’s 150th Anniversary Celebration and the 2021 Groesbeck Heritage Festival, the Garden Club has announced plans to build and maintain “planters” that will contain native flowers and other plants to beautify the downtown area. Initial placement will be along Ellis St. or Hwy 14 with possible future sites on Navasota St. The project is the result of a generous donation from an anonymous donor. Anyone who has “Groesbeck” or “Groesbeck Reds” bricks they would like to donate are urged to contact a Club member. These will be used to highlight the planters with their special Groesbeck message. Other salvaged bricks from early schools, cotton gins, homes, and other buildings are requested and will be utilized in the body of the planters.
