Kanawha Garden Club members (from left) Kathy Muehlman, Nina Peyton and Stuart Smith prune some dangling branches at Davis Park in preparation for a private Party in the Park Wednesday evening to raise money for park renovations. The club is in the middle of a three-year, $170,000 park redo.

As part of the Davis Park renovations, these two Bradford pear trees and two more will be removed this fall. Four young trees will be planted in their place.
