Cheryl picked up 100 red and white tulip bulbs and 200 grape hyacinth bulbs from ColorBlends Warehouse in Bridgeport, and after the garden patch was cleaned up, Ripton Parish Chapter members planted the 300 bulbs. Chapter member Jan Shiappa, who had to leave early from the garden clean-up, checked out the garden on the way home from errands and said, “Looks great! What a difference!” Great job everybody! We can’t wait until spring to see the garden in bloom.Cheryl Dixon is the Ripton Parish Chapter Garden Committee Chair; Adrienne Such made the sign; helpers included Mary Giunti, Pat King, Dotti Lupariello, Jan Schiappa, Juliana Lavitola (who took the photos), Natalie Sasuta, and Regent Christine Schmied.
