Dear Covington Garden Club Members,
Welcome! I hope everyone had a great summer. Although I must say, I am looking forward to Fall and getting back to garden club.
Our programs this year will be educational and fun. We will start off with a “show and tell” about new plants for the fall. A fun hands-on program will be about designing a seasonal arrangement using grocery store flowers. Then we will learn about the mysterious “Atchafalaya”. We will have a “Holly Jolly” good time at our annual Christmas party. Other topics will be about our beloved camellias, plants used for medicinal purposes and identifying those poisonous plants in our gardens and how to get rid of them safely. We will also learn some tips on design and exhibiting horticulture, all in getting ready for our annual flower show, “Happiness Is Homemade.”
We continue our community involvement by supporting the Covington Food Bank, maintaining Triangle Park, the Healing Garden and our Blue Star marker. This year we will recycle our gardening magazines and donate them to the senior citizens in our area.
We will once again have our annual luncheon/style show fundraiser, which supports the scholarship given each year and the many other activities of our club. It is a sought-after event that everyone looks forward to attending!
I encourage each of you to get involved in the many activities that our club has to offer. Spread the word about our wonderful club and invite a friend to join in on the fun!
Now let’s get started “Sowing Seeds in our Community.”
Sincerely,
Kyle Martin
President
