Gardening enthusiast Sandy Fitzgerald is the 2nd Sunday at 2 p.m. history and humanities series sponsored by the Arts Council of Tahlequah. While the program usually meets the second Sunday of each month, last weekend being Mother's Day the presentation was rescheduled for this Sunday.
A member of the Garden Club since the 1990s, Fitzgerald will share about the history and current projects of the non-profit that keeps Tahlequah blooming in beautiful flowers.
"Volunteers help weed in the city park, and help plant and weed in the garden curbside bump-outs on Main Street," said Fitzgerald. "We also enjoy assisting people with Q & A about what to plant, where to plant, and how to take care of plants."
People might not know the garden club was established in 1932, during the depression era, she added.
A speakers program started in September with a program by Beth Herrington, this monthly series offers a unique and interesting topic of history each month, and will continue with Judge Lynn and Paula Burris in June, Jay Hannah in July and Ed Fite in August to finish the first year of 2nd Sunday at 2.
The 2nd Sunday at 2 program is free and open to the public. Cort Mall is located in downtown Tahlequah at 215 S. Muskogee Avenue. Membership to ACT is $20 annually. All proceeds go to support area arts, artists and quality of life events like, "2nd Sunday at 2 p.m.."
