KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Big Valley 4-H Club’s effort to bring bright spring color to Kelseyville is coming into full bloom.

The club is celebrating the bloom of the nearly 1,000 bulbs that were purchased with donations from generous community members.

Club members planted the bulbs last November on Gas Hill in Kelseyville – on Main Street near Live Oak Drive – as its community service project, according to Michelle Brown, Big Valley 4-H’s co-community leader.

Brown said Marilyn Holdenried had done the project the previous year with the help of some friends, but when the Big Valley 4-H Club learned about it, club members pitched in to gather donations and help plant.

“This was our first year, but we are so pleased with the results we will try to continue every year,” said Brown.

The Big Valley 4-H Club meets the second Monday of every month at 6:30 p.m. at the Kelseyville High School cafeteria.
