One of the key
functions of the Pink
Dogwood Garden Club in historic Summerton
is to educate and inform its members about nature, horticulture,
plants, flowers, birds...
The guest speaker at
the January 2019 meeting was Suzette Anderson, a representative of
the Palmetto Conservation
Foundation. One of the primary functions of the foundation is to
support, maintain and preserve Palmetto
Trail in South Carolina which runs almost 500 miles across the
state, from the mountains to the coast.
In recent years, the
foundation has been shifting its focus from raising funds, acquiring
land, and preserving history to enhancing outdoor recreation
resources and activities, e.g. hiking, biking,, backpacking, camping…
Passages close to
Santee and Summerton include Eutaw
Springs Passage, Santee
Passage, and the Lake
Marion Passage. Unfortunately, the Hwy 301 lake bridge is
currently closed, even to foot traffic. This could be a good
community project for groups to undertake and work together to ‘fix’.
Again, if you live
in Sumerton or one of the many nearby communities in the Santee
Cooper Lake Country and are interested in nature, gardening,
landscaping, horticulture, plants, and flowers – please consider
joining the Pink
Dogwood Garden Club.
