At the Garden Club meeting on March 14, President Susan King announced that
Charlotte Hamilton has agreed to replace Karen Zaenker as captain of the town
garden at Mimosa Boulevard. She also informed us that the site chosen for our
childrens garden club is behind town hall next to the picnic table, and even contains
water. She shared that the new Garden Club brochures were well received by locd
realtors, who have agreed to include them in all new residents’ information packs.
Membership chairman Toni Cox advised that there are currently 37 members in the
Garden Club. Hostesses Jean McDanal, Martha Edwards and Jo Ferguson provided a
St. Patrick’s Day-themed refreshment table and treats that included Irish soda bread.
Horticultural chairman Sheryl Woodbury pointed out that many of our plants
seemed to have been killed by the frigid weather this winter, especially her
Confederate jasmine, but expressed hope that many roots may have survived to send
up spring shoots.
Martha Edwards informed us that the Garden Club Arbor Day ceremony will be
held at town hall on April 27, the same day as National Arbor Day. The town held
its Arbor Day celebration on March 16 to coincide with North Carolina’s Arbor
Day events. The Garden Club will plant a tree to honor deceased members Shirley
Schaeffler, Lois Strube, and Lois Heffelfinger.
Members voted to approve the roster of proposed club officers for the 2018-
2019 club year. Officers are Susan King, president; Charlotte Hamilton and JoAnn
Shallcross, first vice presidents; Jean McDanal, second vice president; Linda Langheld,
recording secretary; Kathy Blowers, corresponding secretary; and Lisa Park, treasurer.
The program for this business meeting was to be our March 23 bus trip to the North
Carolina Museum of Art for the “Art in Bloom” exhibit. While on that trip, a stop was
planned at Logan’s Garden Center to purchase several salt tolerant plants and plants
that are attractive to butterflies (such as milkweed).
The Garden Club meets on the second Wednesday of every month at town hall
at 9:30 a.m. for refreshments, followed by the program at 10 o’clock. Guests and
visitors are always welcome to attend. Email pksgardenclub@gmail.com for additional
information.
