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.
