Arrangers’ Guild Meeting & Class – January, 2025

January 21, 2025

Janet Roberts called the meeting to order at 9:50 a.m. due to the continued recovery of Linda Hensler. Jane Howells was also absent to lead the class due to illness and Janet Roberts stepped up and did a great job! Thank you, Janet.

We made $219.00 at the December 9th Garden Club meeting, Thank You Kelley Callery for making the beautiful gift bag floral arrangement.

Our class program instructor was Ginny Niebauer, who owns Art Among
The Flowers and is a club member.

Before teaching us on how to arrange flowers in a vase, she went over several helpful tips she called: “101” How to start!

  • Clean your flower stems and wipe them clean
  • Make sure knife is used away from you
  • Bought store flowers should be cut 2 inches to start with fresh water in your vase
  • Cut off any flowers not open, they take energy away from your flowers
  • When you start arranging your vase, you first want to make a tight nest of your greens so they will be able to hold your flowers when you insert them.

The class then made their own beautiful arrangements to take home. Thank You Ginny!

The meeting was adjourned at 11:30 a.m.

Respectfully submitted: Nancy Iandoli

February 2025 Selection of the Month

The Garden Club at Palm Coast has named Linda and Manny Dos Santos of Florida Park Drive as the February 2025 Garden Selection of the Month.

Originally from New York they have lived in Palm Coast for 5 years but have been visiting here for over 25 years.

Linda loves a neat yard; she is crafty and talented by making her gorgeous water fountain from pots and stones. Behind the fountain she has created a succulent wall she made from different crushed seashells and individually glued each piece together to create this amazing wall at her front door entrance filled with various unusual succulents including a miniature pineapple.

Considering this yard is for the month of February, we were amazed to see several flowering plants blooming at this time! Such as coreopsis, candelabra aloe, zinnias, velvet plant, red azaleas. and curcuma ginger, as well as various crotons which add winter colors, to name a few.

Her imagination never rests until she is finished. Everywhere she goes she sees possibilities for new ideas. She can do almost anything related to DYI creations.

She also helped at an assisted living facility, doing short classes and showing seniors how to make crafts.

Thank you, Linda, for your talents and passion for a beautiful curb appeal landscape.
