November/December 2020


 

Garden Club News

On the side of caution, we have regretfully decided that we are unable to hold our usual Greens Sale this year. It is not possible to meet social distancing recommendations and still do all our preparation and workshops to produce our products.  We appreciate your support over the years and have every intention of continuing with our Greens Sale in subsequent years when it is once again possible to safely do so.

We will miss the camaraderie, holiday music, delicious soups and treats and creative energy as we make holiday decorations with freshly picked greens from local landscapes.

Museum members were treated to a wonderful program on Exuberant Decorating for the Holidays.  The narrated video presentation included some of these beautiful items:



Draped balustrades

Lovely vignettes

Fanciful table settings

Thanksgiving

Shimmering chandeliers

Themed trees



Christmas from years past

A Victorian Christmas

Draped mirrors

Decorating every nook and cranny


We thank our Decorating Diva for inspiring us to make the most of this Holiday season.
