We were invited to teach a floral design class to the students of Union Mill Elementary School Garden Club. We had a great time with the students. They paid attention while Theresa taught the basics and they applied what they learned. They were very proud of their arrangements. There may be some future flower shop owners in the group!
Jim McGlone, Environmental educator and Certified Arborist gave an informative talk on The Basics of Pruning.
Jenny, Theresa and Kathleen brought tasty refreshments and decorated the table beautifully in a President's Day theme.
For our January meeting we made floral arrangements in coffee mugs. Twenty-two of us worked for a little over an hour and made a total of 80 arrangements.
Tuesday morning, Robin, Theresa and Cathy delivered the arrangements to Fair Oaks Health & Rehabilitation Center.
We had our holiday party, potluck and gift exchange. There was great food, and we had a lively gift exchange.
Suzanne Cervarich gave an informative talk on Forest Bathing. We enjoyed listening to calming forest sounds, smelling calming scents and feeling items from nature. She also served us delicious tea.
One Hot Day in August -
Several of us worked on the flower beds at the Centreville Library. Plants were removed, soil was amended and new plants were planted. More plants will be planted when the weather is cooler. The group Friends of the Library is funding the project.
On Saturday, October 5 we participated in ParktoberFest. We sold 30 floral arrangements. Our proceeds were donated to Friends of EC Lawrence Park.
