Sacandaga Garden Club

The Sacandaga Garden Club's 2016 - 2017 has begun what promises to be a very busy and very interesting season.  Activities were launched with a picnic which was hosted by Bette and Ronnie Flynn at their home on September 1st.  

Members enjoyed a wide variety of delicious homemade dishes at the pot-luck lunch.  Club Advisor, Mrs. Doris Guyon, filling in for President Bonnie DesFosse, thanked outgoing officers Gale McGowan, Joyce Callahan, and Ruth Ralston for their service to the club.

Mrs. Guyon then installed Janet Mitchell (Vice President), Carolyn Learch (Secretary), and Diane Knapp (Treasurer) as new officers for the upcoming year.  Booklets outlining all the activities for the coming season were presented to the members.

On Thursday, September 15th, several club members journeyed to the LandisArboretum in Esperance, for a walking tour with Fred Breglia.  Mr. Breglia shared his wealth of knowledge about the tree specimens that adorn the Arboretum.  Information gained on such expeditions allow us to return home and use what we have learned to improve our own gardens and properties.

Our October meeting took place at the Northville Presbyterian Church meeting room.  Janice Winney led members in creating their own individual pumpkin fall centerpieces.  At the meeting which followed, the annual luncheon and auction was discussed.  This year it will be held at the Holiday Inn in Johnstown on November 10th.
