It’s peony season, and the Georgeson Botanical Garden Society will
sell the showy flowers again this year. Because of COVID-19, members
will host  a drive-through fundraiser to support garden operations.

For $50, individuals will receive two dozen short-stemmed peonies. So
that they can enjoy these blooms for a longer time, they will receive
one dozen on Tuesday, July 14, and one dozen on July 28.

This event can’t be at the garden itself, so volunteers will be at
the Artisans Courtyard parking lot from 5-8 p.m. on both days. Just
drive up to their “peony station” and remain in your car while
volunteers give you the blooms. Artisans Courtyard is located at 1755
Westwood Way, off College Road.

If you’d like or order ahead, go to https://squareup.com/store/georgeson-bot-gdn-soc
and pay online. They will also accept cash or checks. Don’t forget to
visit the garden and the peonies. Hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.
Please remember social distancing and to wear masks.
