WELCOME MESSAGE


Sadly, we begin our 30th year without a very dear friend and club member, Donna Renaud.  Not only was Donna our club historian and always a valuable source of information, she was a committed club member and contributed to our work in whatever way she could. She was a very good friend and we will miss her greatly.
So, Thirty years! That’s quite an achievement in a small community like ours and reflects the spirit of our club. Members come and go, much like the birds and the bees, and the evolution of our gardens continues. Our program theme this year is based on nature’s cycle: we amend our soil and the worms reward us by playing their part in improving the earth. We plant beautiful perennials and shrubs and the bees help us continue the cycle of life.
I believe 2009 will be a vintage year for us in terms of the beauty of our gardens, the educational benefits we derive from our workshops and presentations, and the companionship and friendships that we share.  I extend a warm welcome to our new members and wish you all a very happy year of gardening among the worms and the bees!

Miniature Summer Wreath Workshop

Join us in celebrating one of nature's most beautiful flowers - the rose.  Nancy Engel, owner of Sunny Window, Southborough, MA, will guide us in making a 6" heart-shaped rose wreath while she discusses roses, their history and varied uses, including rose oil. She will also share with us some rose-flavored foods. Nancy, who has travelled the world in her pursuit of knowledge about roses, lavender, and other natural substances, started her business more than 20 years ago, selling natural products on a card table at a flea market. Now she sells the products she and her staff make in her antique barn. There will be items available for us to purchase. Workshop cost is $15, payable in advance, and is non-refundable.  Additional wreath kits will also be available for purchase at $5 each.
