February Meeting

Thanks to everyone who attended today. Obviously, foul weather cannot deter committed garden club members!

Beth Juge's home was a perfect setting and, once again, the hostess committee exceeded all expectations. The "coffee" recipe should be the first entry in the next Garden Club cookbook!! Thanks again to Therese Kessels, Kelly Alfortish, Suzanne Tyler, Laurie Bernard and Ros Wingerter for their tireless efforts.

Attached are native plant resources and other documents relating to today's educational speaker, Susan Norris-Davis.

Thank you all for coming, and Happy Mardi Gras. Recipes, photographs, and Garden of the Month to follow.

January Garden of the Month

The Garden of the Month Committee has been working very hard in this freezing weather to search for our winning winter gardens. Many thanks go out to Vonni Contreary, Joel Myers, Liz Leonard and coordinator Ros Wingerter for doing such a wonderful job. It's always so exciting to receive the winning photos of gardens that some of us never see on a regular basis.

January's Garden of the Month was awarded to Betty Rabe at 111 Lark.

Honorable Mention went to 1083 Robert E Lee, the home of Shelly Schenker at the corner of Spanish Fort.

Le Petit Jardin was awarded to the home at 34 Wren. The committee was awaiting owner response before posting name or photo.

Hopefully these beautiful gardens (as well as our own!) will survive the upcoming arctic temperatures over the next few days. At least the cold weather is good for my tulip bulbs in the ground!

HI Ladies,

Attached is a photo (it has a few lines in it) of our NOMA Flower Team arranging the urns in the Great Hall. The girls did a wonderful job - please stop by NOMA this week and take a look! Many thanks to Alice Lowry and her January team: Renee' Lehon, Suzanne Tyler, Muriel Cassibry, Xiomara Brewster, Chrissy Bourdais, Lisa Lachin and Zee Van Norman.
