.Dear Friends,
Happy Spring! As I walked around the garden after one of April’s surprise snow falls, I was
comforted by the new life that continued to sprout from the ground and the buds on the trees. Luckily, there
is resilience in nature to withstand these spring storms and the daffodils are still as strong as ever.
Like many storms, 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 our April program/field trip to Green Circle Growers, I am
glad we can offer our members and guests the opportunity to create a planter and/or fairy garden
in the comfort of their own homes for our May program.
With social distancing measures, we plan 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, our Plant Sale will be held online.
Details below. The Vintage Boutique sale has been postponed. We also decided to postpone our July 2020 “Shakespeare With a Twist” Flower Show. If you would like to join our mailing list to learn about all our current and future updates, please click here.
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!
