President’s Message
Happy February!
Adele O’Neal
I was thinking the other day about how lucky I am to be a member of such an active garden club! Here are a few of the reasons I enjoy the club:
- We are meeting in person again
- Because we are meeting in person, it is easier to get to know each other
- Our guest speakers give us great information about gardening, our community, and the planet
- There are a lot of members in our club who are active
- We have fun arts and crafts events to attend
- The Open Gate events, which started in 2022, are fun and give us another reason to be together
- The club does a lot for the community through scholarships and beautification projects
These are just some of the reasons I feel we have a wonderful club, hopefully, you all have more reasons to belong to the club and participate in the meetings and events!
Another reason is the members are gardeners and don’t mind getting their hands dirty! As the weather gets warmer and we are all out “playing in the dirt” be thinking about the club and what events you want to have and how you can help make these events successful and fun. It takes all of us doing just a little bit to make it GREAT!
