    February 2024 Selection of the Month

    Posted on January 21, 2024 by Chris Austin

    Judy Pipkin of Francis Lane has been recognized as the February 2024 Selection of the Month by The Garden Club at Palm Coast.

    Originally from northern California, Judy moved to Palm Coast in November 2021. Judy is a Real Estate broker and a property manager. She enjoys gardening, pulling her own weeds, and not using any pesticides.

    Due to our chilly weather lately, finding a curb-appeal yard was challenging. Luckily, I found this colorful yard. Her center island draws your immediate attention to her Meyers lemon tree, full of lemons waiting to be harvested. The color continues with lantanas, pink azaleas, firecracker, Mammy crotons, bird of paradise, Hawaiian Ti, bush daisies, Mexican petunias, and junipers.

    The front walkway welcomes you to several foxtail ferns, Mammy crotons, pink azaleas, lantanas, variegated pittosporum, and a large firecracker.

    Along the front of the house are beautiful purple Princess flowers (Tibouchina urvilleana) and a candlestick plant, which is a host for butterflies.

    Jan. 19 – Florida Arbor Day Celebration

    Posted on December 31, 2023 by Chris Austin

    The Garden Club at Palm Coast, Inc. will celebrate Florida Arbor Day with a tree-planting ceremony at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, January 19, 2024 at City Hall (Lakefront at Town Center). This event will kick off a year-long celebration of the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs 100th anniversary. All garden clubs in Florida will take part by planting a tree on this same date and time.

    The Garden Club at Palm Coast, Inc. will join the statewide celebration by planting a bald cypress tree. Officers and members of the Garden Club will be joined by City Officials at this event. In addition to the tree planting, there will be free wax myrtle tree seedlings (a Florida native) given away to all attendees.

    Grants from the Duke Energy Foundation (tree purchase) and the National Wildlife Federation (free tree seedlings) are supporting this year’s Arbor Day festivities in honor of the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs’ anniversary.
