The first meeting of the Monroeville Garden Club for the year 2024-2025 was held on September 12th at 1:30 at the Monroeville Presbyterian Church. Hostesses were Laura York, Kay Wilson, and Vonceil Stringer.
Charlotte Lambert, president, opened the meeting with the distribution of the new year book, discussion of the NGC Horticulture Specialty Flower Show thoughts, a note from the Bradley family, and discussion of upcoming meetings. Programs for the year all seem promising and lots of fun!
A delicious array of finger foods whet all our appetites: Chicken Salad on beds of lettuce, ham sliders, fruit, rotel dip with crackers, nuts, homemade oatmeal cookies, several different dessert pastries, tea and water. Gorgeous flower arrangements of hydrangeas and greenery adorned all the tables.
The meeting ended with the drawing of numbers to see the order that members got to pick which plants they would like to take home. This corresponded with each member bringing seeds or plants to swap.
Fun for all! (Submitted by Sammye Long)
