Thursday is planting day for the islands in our parking lot. About 2000 begonias will be arriving that morning and volunteers are needed to come dig in and get it done. Bring gloves, garden trowels, and knee mats if you have them but there should also be some on hand.

Doors Open Lowell will be this Saturday with varying times for different sites. This is a great chance to see the inside of some of those buildings you’ve always wondered about, as well as some key places from Lowell’s early years such as the tunnels under Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union.
