Our 2023 – 2024 Season ended with our Annual Dinner at A Villa Louisa where our new board was sworn in by Polly Brooks (Former President of the FGCCT). Suzie Hoyt of Glastonbury Garden Club hosted us for a wonderful tour of her beautiful gardens prior to the Annual Dinner
Our annual plant sale will be Saturday May 11th from 9:00 – 12:00. We’re working hard to reduce transmission of invasive Asian Jumping Worms in our plants by bare-rooting most of the plants dug from our yards. These worms deplete nutrients from the soil making it difficult for plants to thrive. We will have information on the problem as well as demonstrations illustrating the “bare-rooting” process.
Evergreen Country Gardeners enjoyed the CT Flower and Garden Show – Bursting into Spring – which took place February 22-25 but many of us were at the Convention Center from the 20th – 25th! The following eight members members participated in the show as entrants and or volunteers.
Members of Evergreen Country Gardeners in Glastonbury gathered recently to make 33 floral arrangements for Welles-Turner Library and area nursing homes and shut-ins using leftover flowers from The Federated Garden Clubs of CT’s standard flower show held in conjunction with the annual CT Garden and Flower Show, held this year Feb 22-25. The show is held at the CT Convention Center in Hartford. After the show closed on Sunday members of the club collect all of the discarded and leftover flowers from the exhibits for these arrangements.
