Next time you drive by Gilmanton’s Year-Round
Library, on Route 140 opposite the Gilmanton
School, pause to admire the plantings adorning
the site. Donations from local businesses and
gardeners have allowed the Year-Round Library
Committee to create an attractive landscape
around the building.
On October 4th Gilmanton resident, Russ Knowles,
representing Pleasant View Gardens, of Loudon,
donated and delivered more than 200 perennials,
a beautiful Adams crab-apple tree and a dwarf
spruce to the Gilmanton Year Round Library
planting subcommittee.
John Bryant of Millican Nurseries in Loudon
donated a majestic 10 foot balsam fir, delivery
made by Dick Barr.
John and Carolyn Dickey of Parsonage Daylilies
donated several clumps of heirloom daylilies and
Dick and Sue Barr donated two 6 foot white
lilacs along with various assorted perennials.
Members of the committee include Stan Bean, John
and Carolyn Dickey and Dick and Sue Barr. The
committee spent the day installing the wonderful
donations. On Monday the 6th the same group of
volunteers completed the project by spreading
the bark mulch.
