Last month the holiday season was in full swing—and never more so than at the Garden Club’s Holiday Party! It was a very festive event—made even more so by a surprise visit from Mr. & Mrs. Claus, who handed out candy canes and seed packets for all the gardeners.
Santa and JoAnne Webb also treated the crowd to a gardener’s interpretation of a famous Christmas poem, with Sharon Stewart reading the poem and JoAnne Webb and Santa acting it out. Needless to say, this provided quite a few laughs for all.
The potluck featured a delicious variety of appetizers, salads and desserts enjoyed by the 60 Garden Club members in attendance. And lastly, there was a gift exchange, sending members home with plants, gift cards, and garden-related items.
A big thanks to co-chairs, Sharon Stewart, Janice Stauffer and JoAnne Webb, as well as the many volunteers who helped to make this a truly memorable holiday party!
January’s meeting will feature Monarch butterfly specialist Susie Vander- lip, a respected expert on Monarchs who consults, designs, plans and implements Monarch habitats and gardens.

If not a club member, there is a $5.00 guest fee.
