BEVERLY'S FIRST MEETING

New member, Beverly Finnell, attended her first Southwind Garden Club meeting on Monday, September 21. Here she is with Lila and Cecelia. It's great to have you, Beverly!

SEPTEMBER MEETING WAS JUST ROSIE

Our September Garden Club meeting was held at the home of Marianne Parrs. Her neighbor, Jay Tingle, a rosarian for over 30 years, treated everyone who attended the meeting to a special tour of his beautiful rose gardens. He also presented a very informative program on SIMPLIFYING YOUR ROSE GROWING EXPERIENCE.
