PKS Garden Club
'Hi
Movember finally brings
I ^ the glorious autumn hues
of crimson, amber and yellow to our
leaves here on the Crystal Coast, and
nudges us to hasten completion of plans
for Christmas activities.
At the November 11 meeting at
Town Hall the Pine Knoll Shores Garden
Club finalized arrangements for the annual
luminaria display on Christmas Eve,
December 24. Lighted will be our marinas
and entrances to the Town from Salter
Path Road, along Mimosa Boulevard to
Brock Basin. We need the help of town
residents on three days.
> December 4 - 10:00 a.m. - Brock
Basin - Filling milk jugs with sand to
hold candles.
> December 24, Christmas eve - Setting
lanterns in place and lighting candles.
> December 25, Christmas morning -
Collecting spent jugs.
If you can help on any of these
days, please call Lois Jean O'Keefe at 247-
4100.
Luminaria kits for your own home
cost $5.00 for 10 candles and can be
purchased at Town Hall December 2 and
December 4. Memorial donations of $5.00
to defray costs of the public display can be
given to any Garden Club member.
A festive Christmas meeting will be
held on December 9 at 10:30 a.m. at Jane
Page's house on the dunes on Pinewood
Drive. Guests are welcome.
At the meeting. President Judy Poit
welcomed new member Chris Walters.
Welcome home Maureen Kocher!
Irene Doremus's "Didjano" - for
glorious spring roses, place the end of a
rose cutting into a potato and plant
together in the ground now.
Ecology Chairman Joan Smith
advises filling the house with plants this
winter, since the underside of leaves are
natural scrubbers of dirty air, increasing
the oxygen content.
The theme of our speaker John
Russell of Pine Knoll Shores was
"Wildflowers in the Wild Garden". He
delighted us with his slides of the Missouri
Botanical Gardens in St. Louis, scenes of
Sicily's landscape near Mt. Etna, red
poppies in southern France and heather on
the Hebrides off the coast of Scotland.
