Historic Montrose Presbyterian Church will soon undergo a two-phase renovation. The National Archives and Montrose Cemetery Association are teaming together to keep the structure from succumbing to nature.

The church is owned by the cemetery association. Association members hope to make the church available in the near future for weddings, family reunions and other church services.

The project, funded by the National Archives, should begin within the next week. Phase One is simple: Keep the church from falling down. Phase Two will be to stabilize the structure.

Million Bells is one of my favorite flowering plants in the early summer. I think you’ll find this plant to be a good choice for the summer landscape in your Mississippi garden.

Million Bells are known botanically as Calibrachoa, and you may see them called by either name in garden centers. Regardless of what name they go by, you need to have some of these garden performers in your landscape.
