Ms. Cullers,

The Beautification of Front Royal Committee working with the Director of the Parks and Recreation Department, Daniel Lenz, planted 100 Dutch Master daffodil bulbs along the Royal Shenandoah Greenway at Eastham Park Trail #2 behind Skyline High School. Park and Recreation personnel were very professional and planted the bulbs under extremely cold and windy conditions on 28 January 2021. The bulbs were supplied by the Beautification Committee in recognition of the Garden Club of Virginia’s 100th year Anniversary and for the enjoyment of all who recreate along the trail.

In addition, the Beautification Committee has supplied 90 Green Arrow daffodil bulbs for planting behind the Warren County Heritage Society in front of the Loom House in recognition of the Garden Club of Warren County’s 90th Anniversary. The bulbs were planted by the Virginia Master Gardeners. The Northern Shenandoah Valley Master Gardeners provide guidance and information to the Heritage Society on maintenance and renovation of their landscape. As well as, educating the public on best practices for proper planting, plant care, pest management and pruning.

Our new initiative is to improve the landscaping around the elementary schools starting with E. Morrison Elementary School.

The Committee thanks the Parks and Recreation Department and the Board of Supervisors for helping to beautify Warren County/Front Royal.

President, Beautification of Front Royal Committee
