(WWNY) - As the old saying goes: April showers bring May flowers. And several flowers were planted this weekend on Wellesley Island. It’s the 10th annual “I Love my Park Weekend”, a tradition for workers and volunteers to spruce up Minna Anthony Common Nature Center at the Wellesley Island State Park. About 40 people spent the weekend cleaning up the trails, laying mulch, and planting flowers and bushes.
