Dear Friends,
Happy Fall! 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!
I would like to extend a warm welcome to our new members: Barbara Blossom, Rindy Collister, Karen Galloway,
Susan Lackner, Lucy Lytle, Staci Coolahan Moran, Cynthia Deyling Panzica, Felicia A. Roddy, Dosie Rymond, Mary Alexander Smith, Jeannette Timmons and Gloria Walas. The Garden Club is looking forward to getting to know all of you!
Thank you to all that participated in our NGC Specialty Design Petite Flower Show - Into the Wild! The judges praised the show and it was also featured on the front page of the Chagrin Valley Times. Kudos to Barbara Schuh for her inspiration and all her hard work to make this happen during a very challenging time. Barbara's design won an Award of Distinction using dried plant material. Thank you & congratulations Barbara!
Top Awards were received by:
Betty Seymour (Tricolor Award using fresh plant material, Design of Excellence & Charlotta Ernst Memorial Trophy)
Barbara Bletcher (Designer's Choice Award using fresh or dry plant material)
Barbara Schuh (Award of Distinction using dried plant material)
Blue Ribbon Winners were received by: Leah Whidden, Marion Faubel, Susan Gascoigne, Sally Burke, Margaret Duff and Judy Guinn.
Education Award was presented to Margaret Duff

further. Please stay tuned for updates and connect with us through email, Facebook, Instagram or
