Garden Club Meeting at It's So Ranunculus Flower Shoppe

The East Hampton Belltown Garden Club met Monday, February 28th

at It's So Ranunculus Flower Shoppe in Marlborough.

Floral designer, Leah Miner O'Hearn, demonstrated her creativity and style while arranging several floral designs.  This design was bouquet-style for a water-filled vase with a variety colorful blooms, grass, and greenery.

Leah starts a basket arrangement in floral foam

with lemon leaves and bear grass as a greenery base.

Leah adds colorful blooms to create the high points

and add texture, as well as color, to the arrangement.

The finished basket is a work of art--and a hint of spring after a long winter.

President Karen Gallmon proposed that the EH Belltown Garden Club contribute to the Dover Air Force Base Memorial Garden for the Fallen.  More information on this memorial garden can be found in your green CT Federation News, the newsletter of the Federated Garden Clubs of CT, Inc., or at the web site MemorialGarden-Dover.org 

Club members agreed that it was a worthwhile project and voted to send a $200 donation to the Delaware Federation of Garden Clubs for the Memorial Garden at the Center for Families of the Fallen at Dover Air Force Base, home of the nation's only stateside military mortuary.

Sue Hewes proposed that we create an embroidery logo for our garden club to use on hats, capris, T shirts, or canvas bags. She showed us several options for a logo with a bell and a "catch phrase."  Members agreed to have her go ahead with the process.

Next meeting is Monday, March 28th at the East Hampton Public Library.

The program is "Yoga for Gardeners."
