For the October meeting, the Monroeville Garden Club traveled to Point Clear, Alabama where tour guides gave the history of the hotel followed by a tour of the grounds.
The guide for the grounds identified plants, offered cuttings, and recommended using Fuslaide (a selective herbicide) to get rid of weeds such as Torpedo Grass which is a big problem in the beds around the courthouse. The guide said that they water their pot plants every day and include a small amount of fertilizer in the water.
After the tour, members met in the Bayside Grill where they had a lunch of Honey Pecan Chicken Salad Croissant and fresh fruit.
The following members made the trip: Laura Bodiford, Dianne Bond, Evelyn Bond, Elba Bonham, Sharon Brewton, Bev Colquett, Pat Hendrix, Carolyn Hutcherson, Charlotte Lambert, Jeanne Sewell, Jean Singleton, Patsy Wadlington, Laura York and Nancy Ziebach.
