It’s bring a friend month at Rock Spring Garden Club! If you have a sincere interest in horticulture and floral design, we’d love to call you friend and join us! Our General Meeting is  Thursday, October 17, 2024 starting at 10:00 a.m. at Little Falls Presbyterian Church, 6-25 Little Falls Rd., Arlington, VA 22207. RSVP to [email protected]

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!

Welcome back to another year of gardening education, projects, and friends!  We are kicking off our September meeting with a field trip to the National Cathedral.  We are touring the Bishop’s Garden.  All the details are in our newsletter, The Gardenzette.  Check out our September edition here —>Gardenzette September 2024 web

We have many things to be thankful for as we end 2023.  Two weeks ago, despite the weather, Rock Spring Garden Club members held our Floral Design sale just in time to deck homes for Thanksgiving.  We cannot thank enough all the club members who helped us in multiple capacities, and our customers who came out in the rain and bought a design or two.  The funds raised go directly to our community outreach programs that include youth garden therapy programs, junior gardeners, 4-H summer camp scholarships and senior outreach.

Our December meeting is a members-only Holiday tea.  And you could join us next year if you consider becoming a member of Rock Spring Garden Club.  We are an active community organization that aligns with National Garden Clubs Inc. and our club is an active part of National Capital Area Garden Clubs, Inc. District III AND Virginia Federation of Garden Clubs, Inc. Piedmont District.  Membership affords us access to four NGC Schools with certification, symposiums, garden conferences, tours, field trips, flower shows, and continuous educational opportunities that focus on horticulture, landscape, environmental concerns and floral design.  If you have a sincere interest in any of these topics, Rock Spring Garden Club might be the organization for you.  Feel free to explore our website and contact us via email [email protected]

On behalf of all our members, we wish you happy holidays and best wishes for 2024!
