But spring is really he.re, and with our O\\' n gardens well started, we arc planning a wild flower sanctuary. Because of the rapid building up of C\'Cry section of the village, there is hardly a spot left where the native flowers and shrubs grow in their old original setting. To be sure, almost every flower lover has a little patch or corner of wild flowers among the more -;howy annuals and perenniels of our cultivated gardens. but the Forest Pre. ,crvcs are our only real wild flower gardens. :\t the corner of Third street and ·cregory avenue, the village owns a · :-.ntall plot of ground which is now bare oi \'Cgctation. The Garden club propose-; to plant native shrubs and flower s there and eventuallv have a miniature forcst preserve wli-cn: the bird s and Ht>m: r ~ ma\' flourish unc\i-;t urhed vet l.>t.· enjoyed - by all who wi :; h to' visit t hem .
