On May 11, members of the Como Community Club met with members from the DeSoto Civic Garden Club in downtown Como to refurbish the planter boxes as part of a city beautification project for the town. Currently, there are six planter boxes on Main Street that contain a dwarf Alberta spruce in the middle of each box. Surrounding at the base of the spruce were yellow Lantanas planted by club members. The DeSoto Civic Garden Club is a member of the National Garden Clubs, Inc., Deep South Garden Clubs, Inc., and The Garden Clubs of Mississippi, Inc., Hills and Delta District.
