Rock Spring Garden Club wraps up a very productive year. Our Holiday Floral Pumpkin Design sale on November 26, 2024 was a great success.  Thank you to our club members for designing our pumpkins, and to our customers in the Arlington community who gladly supported us.

This month we have a members-only Holiday Tea at the home of one of our club members. So we won’t have a business meeting.  Our next Club general meeting is scheduled for Thursday, January 16, 2025 at 10 a.m. at Little Fall Presbyterian Church, 6025 Little Falls Rd, Arlington.  Our program is about Scotland travels with Anita Brown and Thea McGinnis. Guests and potential members are always welcome!  But please do RSVP to [email protected]

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.
