A to Z on Bats and Bees
We’re picnic planning in B-eautiful February, in a surprising way!

First, we’ll learn about garden-friendly BATS with an exploration of their habitat, life cycle and value in pest control…after all, each bat makes a picnic out of up to 1,000 mosquitos per hour! Then, we’ll move on to a project for our own picnic baskets this spring, courtesy of ever-helpful BEES. We will create personal sets of beeswax wrap, a beautiful, functional and reusable alternative to plastic wrap. The program will start at 2:00 pm in the Dr. Bird Room. This program is open to everyone. To join the fun, please RSVP by February 6th to ssmgardenclub@gmail.com or 301-774-0022 ext. 145.

Happy New Year 2016

We want to thank everyone that came out and helped with this year’s Greens Workshop and Sale. The wreaths, arrangements and swags were absolutely beautiful. We had another marvelous sale this year.

We appreciate the support of all our friends and members. We want to give a special thank you to Sunny Banvard our amazing Greens Sale Committee Chair for her dedication and hard work throughout the year. We also want to acknowledge Kathy Gaskill and Mary Dominique for their leadership in Greens Collection and Breakdown. Finally we want to mention Penny Sidell for all the hours she spent working behind the scene, Andrea Mohr for coordinating all the orders, and Dayna Tucker for the wonderful snacks.

Again thank you all for your help,

Amy Cohen and Pat Ebner, Co-Presidents
