Dear Covington Garden Club Members,
Welcome to an exciting year of fresh topics and renewed fellowship with
your club friends.
Unsure what is a begonia? Our first speaker will be a former LGCF
District Director, Cindy Moran, who will educate us with, “Everything
You Ever Wanted to Know About Begonias”. Next, Dr. Charles Fryling
will explain the hallmarks of Japanese gardens. Have you ever considered
forcing paperwhites or other bulbs for the Christmas season? Our very
own member and Louisiana Master Gardener, Janice Bullock, will
demonstrate. Join us in December for our annual Christmas Tea themed,
“Winter Wonderland”, at the beautiful home of member, Conie
Abernathy, where we will accept donations for the Northshore Humane
Society as part of our community outreach.
Have you wanted to incorporate native plants with existing residential
flora in a cohesive design? Covington landscape architect, Christy Kervin,
founder of Colline, LLC, will present how to accomplish that. “Design in a
Bag” will be a hands-on event presented by some of our very own
talented floral designers. Want to know “How to be a Winner in a Flower
Show”? Back by popular demand is Penny Crawford, NGC Master Flower
Show Judge, to critique designs by our own members. “I’ve Got the Music
in Me” will be the theme of our annual Flower Show. And rounding out
the year, Linda Franzo, owner/operator of Passionate Platter, will show us
“Cooking with Herbs”, followed by our annual club plant exchange.
This fall our scholarship and events fundraiser will be a Rummage Sale at
the home of Carolyn Pearce.
Sharing what we love about flowers with our friends is what make
Covington Garden Club special. “Wild About Flowers and Friends” is
what Covington Garden Club knows best.
