 At our November meeting we made fall floral arrangements for the residents of Fairfax Rehab Center.

 Once again the snacks were wonderful.

September Meeting

                                     We started out the year with our annual Sunflower Challenge.

Michael Lawn was the speaker for our September meeting. He was Gardener Foreman for the White House for 32 years. 

 

                 He brought some Easter eggs from past Easter egg Roll events at the White House.

Mount Vernon Tour

 Saturday, August 12th eight of us went to George Washington's Mount Vernon. Theresa led us on a tour of the gardens.  We also toured the house and had a tasty and enjoyable lunch at The Mount Vernon Inn. We enjoyed exploring the beautiful grounds, learning new things about President George Washington and spending time together. Thanks Theresa for setting it up and for arranging for our tickets.

                           

Work at the Brain Foundation House

 We have been doing garden maintenance at the Brain Foundation house in Greenbriar for several years. This summer Robin and her husband spent several days removing trees from the yard. A group of us helped them with weeding and loading the truck. There are more days of work and more trips to the dump before the job is done.    

Front Royal Trip

 In June several of us went to Front Royal to see Elaine's garden. The gardens and the view were lovely.  She had made some changes since our last visit. One of the changes was the addition of a screened porch where we enjoyed eating our lunch and a tasty Texas sheet cake that she had made.
