Gardening For Life Celebration 2024
The GFL Celebration 2024 was a free community event celebrating ways we can all make a difference to preserve and protect biodiversity in the Carolina Foothills and beyond. It was a day of discovery, of surprise and of lively community conversations.
We did it and what a great gathering and day!!!
