The Amateur Gardeners of Milton placed many wreaths and other decorations around town.
The Amateur Gardeners of Milton have decorated several areas of Milton for the holidays, including the lucky winner of the annual “Deck Your Halls” contest. Joan Windwer of Heather Drive was this year's winner. Members of the club recently placed wreaths and planters near her front and back doorways. They also decorated the home’s interior mantel.

Proceeds from the annual Deck Your Hall sale go toward beautification of the town and scholarships for Milton seniors.
