Rock Spring Garden Club’s Invitational Committee hard at work creating flower designs for civic organization events, including design programs for Arlington County’s 55+ Program, Virginia Hospital Center’s Breast Cancer Conference, Tuckahoe Elementary School’s Home and Garden Tour – we are always delighted to be asked to contribute our skills to their successful event that supports this school where we hold our Junior Gardener Program. The Committee also attends the JG Mothers Day classes where we help the children create their own fresh flower designs. Invitational Committee members also create floral designs for members and member families during difficult times.

 Our Invitational Committee stays very busy with community requests for floral designs.  We are especially proud of our designs for the Arlington County 55+ event, the annual Tuckahoe House and Garden Tour, Virginia Hospital Center’s Breast Cancer Awareness Conference,  just to name a few.  Invitational doesn’t always wait to be invited – every month after each meeting, our club designers gather Horticulture submissions from our monthly design challenge, create a new, magnificant design and deliver it to someone who has been ill, had surgery or balancing a new baby in the family, either a member friend, a neighbor, or a club member who may be homebound, to lift their spirits. Invitational is also honored to create floral designs in memory of members lost. Flowers have a profoundly positive effect in this world, don’t they?
