The Cranston Central Library was home to an event hosted by the Western Cranston Garden club that helped teach children learn the basics of gardening on June 20. Children were treated to a story before planting pink and white begonias along the front of the library.

The Garden Club, that provided the 20 begonias planted by the children, has hosted the event in the past with great success. Available for children age five to twelve, a little over a dozen attended.
