The Koochiching Men’s Garden Club took to the dirt Wednesday as the group began planting in several of the club’s flower beds around town. The gardening go-getters joked about having to wake up early Wednesday to begin planting, which was a little delayed this year because of the cooler temperatures. Nonetheless, each member appeared to be having a good time as they planted, raked and weeded Borderland into a more attractive community.
