SIGNS OF SPRING IN THE AIR

Our little boy and girl statue are looking very fit for warmer weather since the SWGC had them refurbished recently.




The Garden Club is recognized throughout the neighborhood for various projects. Look at the beautiful Spring colors in this front gate planting bed.




Spring is here and with it come the daffodils that we planted for the Germantown Plantation Retirement Community last October. The residents will be able to enjoy the benefits from this project for years to come.

MARCH MEETING

The Garden Club meeting for March was held at the home of Lila Lusk.





Before the meeting began, Linda, Mary Jo and Judy had a cup of coffee and a chat.



Judy presented a great program with wonderful flower show tips. The flower show is just a short time away.







This beautiful artwork for the flower show, done by Debbie Strelsin, was unveiled at the meeting for everyone to see. It will be used on all of the invitations, programs and signage. How many other garden club flower shows have beautiful, original artwork like this...huh?





Marianne admires the horticulture specimens that were submitted at the March meeting.




These lovely ladies enjoyed gathering around Lila's gorgeous table filled the delicious goodies.

FEBRUARY MEETING

Our February Garden Club meeting was held at the TPC Southwind Clubhouse.


President Lila brought some beautiful hats to show everyone and to inspire us to create our hats that we will be wearing at our flower show that will be held on April 30.


Judy Walker, a flower show judge, presented a wonderful program on "The Elements and Principles of Floral Design".


Here is Judy demonstrating her design skills and talents.



What beautiful ideas she has!




Before the meeting began, Nan presented Dave, who was playing poker in the Players' Grille at the Clubhouse that morning, with a little thank you gift for his help with transportation for some of the ladies on the snowy, icy night of the "French Kiss" dinner party.
