 Topic: The USC Belser ArboretumThe new items published under this topic are as follows.The CANDO gardens are the gardens on the exterior of the the USC Belser Arboretum that were developed with the help of a CANDO grant from the City of Columbia. The Sherwood Forest Neighborhood Association is responsible for keeping them healthy and pretty. Right now we have a group of five volunteers who work one week a month for an hour or so to help maintain the gardens. We would love any extra helpers who are interested in showing up or who would like to be added to the regular schedule.

These two gates, one on Wilmot Street, and one on Bloomwood, will lend charm and grace to the neighborhood, and bring further attention to the jewel of an urban forest that lies in the midst of our neighborhood. The Bloomwood gate went up in mid-March. It was sponsored by an anonymous donations through the University of South Carolina. Just after an announcement at the March 27th neighborhood meeting that funds were needed for the second gate, Dr. Pat DeCoursey notified the Sherwood Forest Neighborhood Association of a donation in honor of Mr. and Mrs. John Thomas Calvin of Monita, Virginia that will fund the Wilmot Street gate.
