Dear Friends,
Happy Summer! As I walked around the garden recently, I was comforted by the beautiful plant life that continued to bloom throughout the garden. None of us could have predicted the COVID-19 outbreak or the mandatory stay-at-home order. Though it has been difficult to isolate, and our lives have been altered, I am thankful for some of the blessings it has afforded us…. like more time in our gardens!
While disappointed we had to cancel or modify various programs this spring and summer, I am
glad we were able to offer our members the opportunity to create a planter and/or fairy garden
in the comfort of their own homes for our May program, and to create victory gardens in June.
With social distancing measures, we were able to continue the following traditions: Road Side Clean
Up, May Baskets as well as planting the Bridge Boxes on both the North and South Bridges.
Due the continued concerns for the health of our members and guests, we have decided to postpone our July 2020 “Shakespeare With a Twist” Flower Show. However, we will be hosting a NGC Petite Design Specialty Flower Show on September 15 & 16. Attendance is by invitation only. If you would like to join our mailing list to learn about all our current and future updates, please click here.
We are now offering some specialty gardening items for sale on our website and hope you enjoy browsing our items for sale: Hats, Gardening Gloves, Gardening Aprons, and Notecards.
With continued uncertainty, it is likely that our 2020 calendar of events may have to be adjusted
further. Please stay tuned for updates and connect with us through email, Facebook, Instagram or
our Website www.thegatesmillsgardenclub.com.
Stay Healthy, Happy & Resilient!
