Last month, we took a field trip to the National Cathedral’s Bishop’s Gardens to kick of our club year – it was great!  So, technically, this is oue first meeting of the year.  And guess what? We have a wonderful designer and judge and a good friend to RSGC, Kathy Ward.

Kathy is an NGC Accredited Life Judge, member of the Richmond Design Guild, and a member of Salisbury Garden Club, joins us for a Design Demonstration and Workshop. Kathy will design a creative line mass and a creative line design, showing us the difference between both designs. She will also discuss petite designs and monochromatic designs. We will then break out into our design workshop where you will create your own design.  Want to join us? just send us an email.  And do navigate our website to see what we’re all about.

Mark your calendar! National Capital Dahlia Society Show 9/28-29/2024 and stem sale after the show on Sunday. The horticulture will leave you in awe and artistic designs in the “Hats Off to You…” theme classes will inspire you.

Fun additional fact – there is Brookside  yoga class that Saturday morning, 9:30 AM.  After your beautiful and relaxing session, take a nice long walk around the grounds, pack a picnic, then head into the show.  Sounds like a pretty perfect day!

Well, we’ve completed another fun and interesting club year – with great speakers, good programs, supported our community through work at Rock Spring Park, Ball-Sellers House, our senior outreach at Mary Marshall Home, our pre-school program at Glebe Elementary, our Junior Gardener program at Tuckahoe, our floral outreach to members,  fun field trips, plus plant sales, pumpkin design fundraisers, and successful flower show. Most of all, we grew our membership, made new friends, gardened together, and worked together.  Our club is very blessed and fortunate.

We will resume our meetings on Thursday, September 19, 2024.  If you’re looking for a garden club to join, feel free to reach out to us anytime- just email us at [email protected]
