SOUTHWIND GARDEN CLUB

2011-12

This online archive project allows a glimpse into the meetings, projects and activities of the Southwind Garden Club. We have a two fold purpose for this project, to inform our members on projects and progress and to educate perspective new members on the activities of the club.

We will highlight effort and design centering around floral and landscape design, horticulture, and advanced gardening. Through this effort we aim to cultivate new friendships and further our passion for all things floral.

SPRING PLANTING AT CHUCALISSA

Marianne Parrs does a wonderful job as chairman of the Chucalissa committee. She recently gathered some of her committee members and made a visit to the museum to do some cleanup of winter debris and get some planting done.


Marianne plants the seeds of "the three sisters".... corn, beans and squash .... in much the same way as the native Americans did long ago.


Marianne's neighbor, Mary, came along to help out.

Digging and pulling weeds is so much fun!

Nan and Mary work on one of the extra large planters on the museum grounds.

Mary, Nan, Marianne and Carol enjoyed their gardening task on an absolutely perfect weather day.

MAY MEETING BEGINS NEW OFFICERS' TERM

The May meeting was held at the home of Rena Baker. Out-going president Lila presided for her final time with a brief business meeting that was then followed by the installation of our new officers for 2011-2013. Everyone enjoyed the delicious luncheon that came afterward.


Julie Wilson, District I Director, attended our meeting and installed the new officers.

A great lineup for the next 2 years!

New president, Ganelle Ballard, is installed by Julie.

A fun poem was read to Lila by her board members that have served with her for the past 2 years.

Linda presented Lila with a framed copy of the poem.

MAY YARD OF THE MONTH

Our awards committee is back at work again looking throughout the Southwind neighborhood for the most beautiful yards. They have selected the home of Michael and Jennifer Mugavero, 8508 Tournament Drive, as the yard of the month for the month of May.

APRIL MEETING HELD AT DIXON GARDENS

The location for our April meeting was the Dixon Gardens and Galleries. After the regular business was conducted and Cecilia gave a great conservation presentation, everyone was treated to a tour of the beautiful gardens. Our tour guides from the horticulture department were Norma Montesi and Amy Berthoux.
