Here’s a way to cheer someone up on a nice spring day: The Garden Club of Long Beach Island recently delivered baskets of May flowers to local residents who are confined to home.

“It was a cheery message to more than 35 people,” said Gillian Rozicer, club publicity chair. “Every year the garden club maintains this tradition as a service to the community.”

She said 12 members gathered at the Beach Haven Yacht Club, which donated its space for the workshop to create the baskets.
