November 1, 2017 - Center Garden Club has selected for its “One Wonder” feature the absolutely stunning Japanese persimmon tree, located at 212 Houston Street in Center, the family home of Marilyn Ballard and her late husband, Larry Ballard. Marilyn noted that historical accounts of her house indicate that this Japanese persimmon was planted in 1897—one hundred and twenty years ago. It is such a beauty, an autumnal delight: a grand -- and as Halloween approaches, leafless tree with its hundreds of orange globes set against the sky, especially the night sky. It is definitely “One Wonder” that deserves viewing!
Center Garden Club meets at noon on the second Wednesday of each from September through May. Guests are welcome. For further information, contact Carolyn Bounds at 598-3414 or any other CGC member.

Barbee is the son of Jennifer Hass and his fiance is Crystal McDonald. Proud of him are his brothers Trenton Hass, Brandon Soto, Cody Foshee, and Hunter Wagstaff. He is the grandson of Robert and Gina Bush, and Doug and Linda Hass.

October 27, 2017 - Center Garden Club has a new community project that will focus on the beauty and wonders of nature by featuring Shelby County’s variety of plants. Biweekly, the club’s civic committee will choose a plant to feature as “One Wonder” among the many throughout Shelby County. The first selection is the large pyracantha (or firethorn) shrub located on the terrace at 303 Tenaha Street in Center, Texas, the home of Toni Crowley. Ms Crowley noted that the magnificent berries of the pyracantha (or firethorn), transition from yellow to orange to red in the fall and winter. As we should expect now, it is beautifully ablaze for all who pass by on Tenaha Street.
Center Garden Club meets at noon on the second Wednesday each month September through May and welcomes guests. Call Carolyn Bounds for further information (598-3414).
