As your new Director I am very excited for the next two years. I look forward to serving and working with everyone to make this a great garden district term. We have planned some new things and I hope that each and
everyone will learn and grow.
My theme is “Along the Garden Path” there are many things we can do while on this path. Special emphasis will be on NGC Flower Shows, Education, Membership, Community Service, Awards, Backyard Wildlife and Youth.
I invite you to join in our journey together of gardening and friendship by participating with the district activities, and meetings, as well as your club’s projects and events.
The main reason that people say they join a garden club is to “Learn About Gardening.”
