Pink tulips rise at mini park

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Members of Girl Scout Troop 8844 recently visited the gazebo/mini park on Main Street to admire the pink tulips they planted last fall. Members of the Du Quoin Garden Club assisted. <br /> In October, the two groups teamed up to plant the pink tulip bulbs as a part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.<br /> The junior troop helped plant 80 pink tulip bulbs to help promote awareness and to work toward badges in gardening. At the time, a short informational discussion was held with the girls about breast cancer and why the color pink is used. <br /> The girls also held a question-and-answer session with the garden club members about gardening, difficult plants to grow and why they wanted to be in garden club. </span></span>
