O'Fallon Hospital 'Planted Pink' For Breast Cancer

The Fleur de Lis Garden Society members recently refreshed the "Plant It Pink" planter at BJC Progress West HealthCare Center.

The Fleur de Lis Garden Society members refreshed the "Plant It Pink" planter at BJC Progress West HealthCare Center in O'Fallon, with a new design for spring. 

The planter is visible outside of the cafeteria and from Hwy 40.

To provide encouragement and a note of cheer to women dealing with breast cancer, the "Plant it Pink" project was initiated in 2009 by the National Garden Clubs, Inc. President Renee Blaschke.

Club members plant new flowers appropriate for each season.

The Fleur de Lis Garden Society holds monthly meetings and also meets for additional programs, trips and projects. Drop-ins and new members are welcome.
