Using Containers to Enhance Your Flower Arrangements

      The Monroeville Garden Club met February 8, 2024, at the home of Charlotte Lambert, hostess.  Co-hostesses were Sara Bradley, Sherri Eubanks and Scarlet Strom.

      Charlotte began the meeting with a word of prayer and then gave an informative program on using different containers for flower arrangements.  We were shown how to match a container to enhance the beauty of the flowers that were used.  Pictures of beautiful arrangements were shared as examples of this technique.

      We were so glad to welcome all of our new members at the meeting:  June Herring, Kay Wilson, Faye Estes, and Carole Parker.

      Delicious refreshments were served after the program:  Chicken Salad Sandwiches, macaroons, fresh fruit, roasted pecans, Red Velvet Cake, Coffee, Fruit Punch, and Water.

      We all left with satisfied appetites and packages of coleus seeds to use for spring planting.  This was a delightful meeting at the home of our new president.

      Happy Valentine’s Day/Month.  (Submitted by Sammye Long)

Beautiful Geranium blooms that Charlotte saved in her greenhouse.  Decorative paper shred was 

used to hide the mechanics of the arrangement which was in a clear container.
