As reported BY JOHN MCKENNA, LitchfieldBZ April 22, 2021: LITCHFIELD — Cold, wind and snow flurries didn’t stop the Litchfield Garden Club from recognizing Earth Day on Thursday.

The club marked its partnership with the Litchfield Historical Society by dedicating the four crabapple trees it planted in the meadow at the Tapping Reeve House and Law School. The planting effort was led by the club’s conservation committee and its chairman, Grace Yagtug.

The meadow, used as an educational tool by the historical society, has become one of the focal points of the garden club’s town-wide beautification effort.

Historical Society Executive Director Cathy Fields thanked the garden club for its contribution and said the historical society looks forward to a future of collaboration with the club.  Read more
