President's Message
"... to stimulate the knowledge and love of gardening."
Knowledge and love of gardening-- the common bonds that bring us together. This excerpt from our club's purpose reflects our passion, our comfort, our quest and our theme for this year. A year that will bring new learning, new and renewed friendships, and renewed passion for our purpose. A new year always feels like a fresh start, just like spring in the garden. We rest, we anticipate and now we are ready to begin again.
This year’s national theme— The World Around Us: Love It, Beautify It, Protect It— as well as the state’s theme— Nourish the Earth: Garden with Mother Nature— both focus on the critical need for all people to do their part to protect our planet. Our Club will have the opportunity to collectively reduce its carbon footprint through a green living program designed by our Conservation Committee. We will learn how simple lifestyle changes can make a huge difference.
I look forward to sharing our knowledge, time, friendship and love of designing and gardening with one another, as well as all the opportunities this season will bring to us, and I’m sure you do as well.
Sincerely,
Joyce Zien
