Press release from Sally Brockett

The Daytime Gardeners of North Haven recently donated some books to the North Haven Library. The donated books were written by gardening enthusiast Neal Sanders.

An author and speaker, Sanders gave a presentation at a Federated Garden Clubs of Connecticut program and kept the audience well entertained with his humor and descriptions of gardening experiences. Sanders has written a series of four mysteries featuring the Garden Club Gang—a group of four women who become involved in solving, or committing, crimes.

The mysteries have a horticultural flavor and reveal Sanders’ experience with gardening, along with his great sense of humor. After some members of the Daytime Gardeners read a couple of Sanders’ books, they decided to donate the series to the library, so that the books could be enjoyed by the community.

Daytime Gardeners of North Haven is a member of the Federated Garden Clubs of CT, Inc.; New England Garden Clubs, Inc.; and National Garden Clubs, Inc. New members are always welcome.
