October 19 Meeting - Tablescapes

Sixteen of us met in Trudy's backyard for our October meeting.  Carey gave a great talk on how to easily decorate our tables using things we already have around the house. She gave us lots of ideas. Thanks Carey and thanks Trudy!




At our September meeting some of us signed up to design a table for a specific season. We put everything together at our October meeting. Here are the results. 

The spring table created by Michele, Kathleen and Theresa.


The summer table created by Robin, Jennifer, Pat and Cathy.

The fall table created by Laura and Kelly.

The winter table created by Donna, Louise and Sue.

 Eagle Scout Pollinator Garden

We were approached by a young man who is planning to plant a pollinator garden in Reston for his Eagle Scout Project. The garden is to be approximately 1650 square feet and will have 700 plants. 

We agreed to donate 15 blue lobelia and 48 purple cone flowers for the garden. Most of the plants came from the yard of Robin W. 

Many thanks to Theresa, Olga, Donna and Robin for digging and potting up the plants. The scout's father picked up the potted plants and the garden was to be planted on October 10. The picture shows just a few of the plants that we donated.


Here is the finished garden, now all it needs is time.
