Garden Club Christmas Tree 2019

The Holiday season is here and one of the annual Palm Coast traditions is the Palm Coast Public Library Festival of Trees. Many local organizations decorate a Christmas tree to showcase their club, their good cause, or just display a beautiful tree.

Preparations for this year’s Garden Club tree started two months ago. Kelley Callery organized a workshop where club members created ornaments for the tree. A variety of spiders, bees  and bugs were made of plastic spoons and other everyday items. The results were amazing and amusing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On November 21 Andrea Rogers and her team of Arrangers and other club members decorated the Garden Club tree. This year’s theme is “Diversity in the Garden”. The tree displays Birds of many species, Lady bugs, Spiders and Dragonflies.

Last Saturday Margaret and I took a peak at the library. Here are some impressions. I forgot to count the number of trees, but I guess there are at least 50.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I encourage you to go and take a look yourself at the Flagler County Public Library – Main Branch, you will love the show.

The library is located at:
2500 Palm Coast Pkwy NW, Palm Coast, FL 32137.
Phone: 386-446-6763

Thank You! to the ornament creators and tree decorators. Great job!!

Arrangers’ Guild Meeting November 19

The Arrangers Guild met today (11/19) for our November class.

Pamela Lace was in charge of the meeting today and made the announcements  as our Director Linda Hensler was away at school to learn how to be a judge at a flower show!

Linda also gave Edwina an Easter wreath made out of pastel ribbons to put on display.

 

 

 

Pamela introduced our very own member Edwina Tabit who was our trainer on how to decorate holiday and other various wreaths including a succulent wreath!

 

 

Edwina had made wreaths with apples, some had sea shells, some made with pine straw and a beautiful wreath made with Magnolia leaves and one with pine cones and various greens. She also made a smaller ring wreath to put a candle in the middle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edwina and Kathleen Terlizzo also showed the students tips on how to make bows and ribbon inserts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Soon after the class was very busy creating our own wreaths.  At the end of class we all admired each other’s creation. Everyone did a fantastic job!

A Message from FFGC President Al Latina

Florida Federation of Garden Clubs, Inc.

Hello FFGC Members!

Attached is the November-December issue of Keeping In Touch (KIT) from NGC.  It includes a great deal of interesting information, and I know you will enjoy reading the issue. I would like for all clubs to pay particular attention to the section for Plant America in which the proposal is made for Plant America Trees. NGC would like for us to plant one Native Tree for each member of NGC, which would result in over 165,000 trees planted if the project is successful.

Please view the attachment:
KIT November-December 2019

Thank you,
Al Latina, FFGC Headquarters
