Garden Club: September 2017 News

After the long, hot days of summer when we were all tinkering in our gardens (or drinking a cold beer—my favorite) it is time for our first Garden Club meeting of the new season, Monday, September 18. I hope you will not miss it because we have a very special treat in store.
Our club president, Gunjan, will be showing a video of a beautiful garden that some of us have never seen or are likely to visit. As many of you know Gunjan’s husband is now working out of Amsterdam. Gunjan is spending time there as well as in their home in Niguel Shores. The video presentation is on the beautiful tulips at the Keukerhof Gardens of Amsterdam, one of the world’s largest flower gardens. Come, you will not be disappointed.
Another special treat at this meeting will be your chance to win a $30 gift card donated by the Armstrong Garden Center. Unfortunately (or fortunately for us) this gift card was received just after our May plant sale, so the club officers decided to raffle off the gift card this month to our members. For a donation of $1 or more to our Penny Pines collection you will receive a raffle ticket (one per member please). Feeling lucky? This is your chance!
Members will also receive their Garden Club yearbook for 2017-2018 and there will be sign-up sheets available for helping with our future Garden Club events.
