DeSoto Civic Garden Club beautifies Welcome Center

The DeSoto Civic Garden Club recently helped beautify the DeSoto County Welcome Center on I-55 South, which is located just south of Hernando. The club annually provides a spruce up to make the welcome center a more inviting place for travelers who come through our county.

This year, new additions to the planters at the center made for a welcoming entrance. Thanks for club members Berta Crellin, Rusty Todd and Pat Tennant for the beautiful and welcoming new look.

The DeSoto Civic Garden Club is a member of the National Garden Clubs, Inc., Deep South Garden Clubs, Inc., and The Garden Clubs of Mississippi, Inc.
