Library to dedicate The Gardens Thursday

The Gardens at the Palestine Public Library will be dedicated Thursday, June 25 at 9 a.m. at Palestine Public Library.



An “adventure” that began with water mysteriously flooding the Youth Department concluded with beautiful gardens welcoming visitors to Palestine Public Library. The designs were created by Anderson County Master Gardeners. Installation was performed by Jo Ann Pigeon Landscaping, Anderson County Master Gardeners, members of the community, and Blackstone Irrigation. Prep work and paving work was provided by community work crews from The Gurney Unit of TDCJ with supervision of the Palestine Public Works Department.



Funding was provided by a matching grant from Palestine Economic Development Corporation, Palestine Library Friends, and Palestine Library Memorial. Benches are being provided by donations from Pionette Garden Club, Palestine Library Friends, Palestine Library Memorial, and friends and family of Janeene Kiely.
