Spring has been unusually cold here in Wisconsin, but luckily the snow is melting and the flowers starting to bloom! Get a head start on your spring landscaping with a pop of color on your porch or in your gardens with hanging baskets from the Lake Mills Rotary Club!
These beautiful annual flower hanging baskets are ten inches in diameter and you have the choice of sun, shade or mixed with a variety of colors and flowers.
