COMMUNITY

The event was a success, and many positive comments were received, said Collins. The committee is already planning for the 2025 tour. In case you missed out this year, watch for details on next year’s tour!

If you’re interested in learning more about the Paris Horticultural Society, consider attending their monthly meetings held the first Wednesday of the month from September to June at the Paris Fairgrounds beginning at 7:30 pm. The society pauses meetings in July and August because they are busy keeping Paris well maintained and beautiful!
