Windflower Garden Club was awarded a $750 Small Grant for 2024-2025 which was earmarked for the refurbishing of the flower beds fronting the Intern Cottage at Cool Spring Nature Preserve in Jefferson County. The Cool Spring facility provides both educational and recreational activities for the community. The goal was to update the plantings in the flower beds at the cottage to coordinate with native plants in the marsh which borders the property.
