Students, resources commission plant trees for future generations By JON WILCOX jon@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Five young trees planted at Innovation Academy represent a future investment in more ways than one, said the chairman of Alpharetta’s Natural Resources
Commission. With the help of a handful of students, the commission got their hands dirty with the school’s students and a city arborist March 11. The trees, two elms, two oaks and a magnolia, will make Alpharetta a greener place while giving the city’s next
generation an important lesson, Chairman Mike Buchanan said. “It gives them skin in the game,” Buchanan said. “We could have hired somebody to dig the holes, but they helped dig the holes, so they can learn.”

ROSWELL, Ga. — At the center of the Bulloch Hall Quilt Guild’s 40th anniversary Great American Cover-Up Quilt Show is a community united over their love for the art of quilting. The exhibit on display in Bulloch Hall until Sunday, March 22, features more than 100 quilts, most created by local quiltmakers and the 35 members of the Bulloch Hall Quilt Guild. The guild was founded with 10 members in 1985. Now, it meets for monthly
workshops where members learn different techniques, participate in projects and mingle with others. Many submissions are a result of the guild’s themed workshops, like flags, wonky stars or 60s-themed quilts. Some pieces were a group effort, combining guild members’ blocks into one quilt. This year’s show features a special exhibit: “Quilts: Presidential and Patriotic” that includes 45 quilts portraying American presidents with fabrics and patterns specific to their term.
