Everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves on Saturday at the Strawberry Festival. The plants were beautiful and the strawberries were yummy. The Butterfly Waystation Table was a big hit. The children and many adults made very creative homes for their fairies at the Fairy Garden Table.
We wanted to thank everyone that helped with the Garden Club Plant Booth this year from growing and potting plant material to working at the booth and cleaning-up. Special thanks to Andrea Mohr for coordinating the Plant Booth Sale. She started growing plants in February.
The Tawes Garden – Annapolis, June 13th
There is still time to join us for a two hour garden tour of “Annapolis’ best kept secret.” The Helen Avalynne Tawes Garden is a “Maryland in miniature” featuring native plants in representations of the state’s various geographic areas. Five acres of gardens include a Western Maryland forest, a streamside environment and an Eastern Shore peninsula. In addition, the barrier-free garden contains pleasant ponds; a raised planter with plants of varied textures, tastes and fragrances; and many cultivated plantings. In 1982, the garden won an award for design excellence from the American Society of Landscape Architects
The tour is open to all and is free. We will meet at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 13th at the Sandy Spring Museum parking lot and coordinate carpooling. Reservations will be made at a local Annapolis restaurant for our group. Some may wish to stay a while in Annapolis and tour the city .
Please let us know if you are interested and to reserve a place by calling Sunny Banvard at 301-924-4645 or Sunnybeme@hotmail.com by June 10th. We will need to know the number of participants to make appropriate arrangements for the tour and restaurant.
Happy Gardening,
Amy Cohen and Pat Ebner, Co-Presidents
