The 2015-2016 season of the Sacandaga Garden Club came to conclusion - well sort of anyway - with a meeting held in the Presbyterian Church Hall on Thursday, June 2nd. You see even though the last formal meeting took place, members still had and will continue to have much to do these coming weeks.
At the last meeting, reports were given and gratitude was expressed to all those who took part in the annual Plant Sale, which took place on May 7th.
The Garden Club has a long standing tradition of offering home grown plants for sale to visitors at the Northville Village garage sale.
The event was a big success and many happy customers will surely be seeing their purchases flourishing in their gardens and homes this summer.
The focus of the meeting then shifted to upcoming events. Members were asked to contribute ideas for the coming 2016-2017 season. Suggestions for possible speakers and topics for scheduled meetings, as well as road trips of interest for members, was discussed. The Club's officers will now sort out all of the proposals and will put together what promises to be an exciting agenda.
Margreet Monster, one of our Club's Master Gardeners, then fielded a variety of questions from members about gardening and care of plants, shrubs, and flowers during the summer months. Such question and answer sessions and sharing of ideas always offers such encouragement and support to all those in attendance.
Margreet and Doris Guyon then offered suggestions to members who were planning to participate in the Club's annual Flower Show. The theme of this year's show was "Travel Destinations" and it was held at the Northville Library from June 8th to June 11th.
Hopefully many of you were able to stop by the Library and view the designs that took you around the world in a most unique way. And if you missed it this year, please make a mental note to be on the lookout for next year's show. It always takes place early in June.
And last but certainly not least, many members took a road trip on June 16th to Charlton, NY. They went to see "Shades of Green", a beautiful garden of hostas and other perennials in a woodland setting. Afterwards they enjoyed lunch on the grounds belonging to Wynne Trowbridge.
Now as the warmer days of summer are upon us the Sacandaga Garden Club members put their formal activities to rest but they will all certainly be busy working on their own home gardens and putting all that they have learned this year to good use. Formal meetings will resume in September and until then - Happy Gardening To You All!
