SAVE THE DATE!
May 11, 2024
We know you’re perusing those spring catalogs and planning what to plant in your gardens as soon as it’s mild enough to get outside. Be sure to put May 11 on your calendar. That’s the date of the Emerald Necklace Garden Club Plant Sale and Garden Faire and you won’t want to miss it.
There will be ready-to-plant perennials, annuals, herbs, native plants and indoor plants. More than 100, foot-tall tomato plants, including heirlooms, are of special interest if you’re a veggie gardener! All grown in your local neighborhood and mostly deer resistant!
At the Garden Faire, you’ll be sure to fall in love with special, gently used garden art, tools, gardening books and magazines. You might also find a household item you can’t pass up. All at incredible prices. Pay with cash, check or credit card. Doors open at 9 AM…’the early bird gets the (best) worm!’
Proceeds from this club fundraiser are contributed to scholarships and also fund monthly speakers for ENGC.
ENGC Members Decorate
10' Tree for CBG's 2023 "Frost"
On November 5th, six ENGC members and former member Sue Mack met at the Cleveland Botanical Garden to decorate a 10-foot tree for the Garden’s 2023 “Frost” holiday celebration. The tree decorating project started on August 17th with a planning meeting where the theme and decorations were decided. Committee members made salt dough, holiday shaped cookies to be decorated at future meetings. Pauline Dey fashioned mugs of hot chocolate from paper with brown paper chocolate and cotton steam or Styrofoam marshmallows. Cookie decorating meetings were held on September 20 and 28 to paint the cookies.
A big thank you to the CBG tree project crew for another amazing holiday tree: Paul & Marlene Helm, Marlene Winter, Nathalie Petrie, Sue Mack, Donna Hessel, Jane Petrie, Rosanne Radziewicz and Pauline Dey!
