Dear Friends of GMGC,
With winter upon us, I can't help but reflect on the past several months with a smile. Our Greens Workshop and Holiday Luncheon were well attended and our members continued to build friendships through gardening during holiday season.
The Gates Mills Garden Club continues to enjoy a spectacular lineup of programs and special events! Our March Program, "Return of the Eastern Bluebird," will kick off 2020 for us! Our speaker is Michael Watson, a Conservation Biologist at the Cleveland Botanical Garden. He works on conservation issues involving wildlife. He also coordinates the Holden Arboretum’s Bluebird Project, a volunteer-based program monitoring the nesting activity of bluebirds and other species using Holden’s 200+ nest boxes. He earned his bachelor’s degree from the College of Wooster and a master’s degree from the University of Michigan. He will help us understand the basics of bluebird ecology and conservation as well as the Arboretum’s role in and process for the successful recovery of this species in Ohio. Tips for the homeowner on providing safe and attractive nesting options will also be shared.
Our planning is underway for our upcoming events! We will host the 4th Annual Plant Sale and Vintage Boutique on Saturday, May 23! We hope to see you there! The 2020 Standard Horticulture Specialty Show, "Shakespeare with a Twist," will be held on July 17 & 18, 2020. We hope you will save the date and attend this interesting and informative event showcasing manipulated plants (Ivy and Herb Topiary), Fairy Gardens, Photography and more!
Lastly, we welcomed 17 new members into the Gates Mills Garden Club in October! We extend a heartfelt welcome to: Alex Brenner, Michelle Brockett, Laura Cotton, Lisa Fazio, Heather Goldberg, Deborah Humbert, Pat Ingram, Beth Jacobs, Linda Kalaycio, Dasha Kelley, Betsi Morris, Linda Olejko, Mary Reynolds, Marla Robbins, Lisa Swinarski, Leah Whidden and LindaWiest. We look forward to growing friendships through gardening! If you are interested in becoming a member, please contact a current member or leave a message at (440) 423-4555 or email gmgcPresident@gmail.com.
Happy Gardening,
Mary Schmidt
