Coming off a wonderful Garden Club Year, culminating with the announcement of the winners of our 2013 Garden of the Year program, we would like to take this opportunity to thank our Arlington County Community leaders and Press Corps for supporting our Club’s efforts to encourage us in our continuing beautification and educational efforts.    Thank you especially to Arlington County Parks and Recreation Department, Arlington County Board, Rock Spring Civic Association, friends, neighbors and Arlington’s Sun Gazette Newspaper.  Our monthly educational programs, November Floral Design Event, our Garden of the Year Program, and the continuation of our 40 years of service to Rock Spring Park gain strength from the support of our community and we very much appreciate it.  Thank You, Arlington!

Here’s the link to the Sun Gazette Article, including some great photos! We have much to celebrate!  Enjoy!  http://www.sungazette.net/arlington/news/rock-spring-garden-club-turns-clock-back-to-at-celebration/article_bfa6e9c4-c6c2-11e2-914b-0019bb2963f4.html
