Dear Covington Garden Club Members,
We have an exciting line-up of speakers and hands-on activities planned for you this year, beginning with Molly Candido, Florist of Covington, who will be demonstrating how to make our own take-home floral arrangements. We will learn how to identify "Spooky Poisonous Plants" and how our yards can become "Native Certified Habitats." We will once again "Jingle, Jingle, Mix and Mingle" at our annual Christmas tea hosted by Conie Abernathy. We begin 2022 "Discovering Native Trees" from the Nature Conservancy. Do you have roses but are intimidated by how best to trim? "Pruning Roses and Other Tips" will show us how. Next, "Flower Show Mechanics" will present the hidden tricks and leaf manipulation that you will not want to miss. Our annual luncheon and style show is also in March. This leads us to our annual flower show in April which was such a wonderful success we are certain will be repeated. Then we finish the year with "Seed Saving" and our plant exchange.
The Northshore Food Bank will continue to be supported through generous donations by our members twice a year, as well as Triangle Park, the Healing Garden and our Blue Star marker.
Did you know our club has three fundraisers in support of a scholarship now given to a rising collegiate junior? Our first fundraiser will be long-awaited Rummage Sale in the Fall, followed by the Belk Charity sale, and our always popular annual Luncheon/Style show. Proceeds from these events also support many other club activities.
Consider signing up for one of our committees. If you enjoy gardening, you'll never run out of topics to discuss. You'll make new friends. Also consider bringing a friend to one of our meetings and join our ranks.
Remember to follow us on Facebook and our website at www.covingtongardenclub.com. Our theme this year is "Grace, Gratitude, Gardening." Let's embrace all that we have, make and maintain treasured friendships, and continue growing greener garden life.
Sincerely,
Donna Moran
President
