The showcase will feature the work of mixed-media jewelry artist Linda Sadler of Beaufort. After retiring from a career as a public health nurse, Ms. Sadler began making jewelry as a hobby, which soon grew to be a passion. She creates one-of-a-kind jewelry and enjoys reusing well-loved vintage items in her pieces to give them a sentimental feel. She also creates Flower Fairies, adorable little dolls with flower petal dresses. Her jewelry has been featured several times in Jewelry Affaire magazine, and she is a juried member of Carteret County Arts and Crafts Coalition. Please plan to join our gallery artist at the public reception on Friday, February 10, from 3 to 4 p.m. in the art gallery.

Mr. Jensen has an extensive background in horticulture and landscape design, graduating from Brigham Young University in Utah with a degree in those two fields. He grew up on a farm in Moses Lake, Washington, where he started his own nursery with his plants displayed in a natural setting with ponds and waterfalls. He now lives in Queen’s Creek, near Swansboro, and his wife is a nurse practioner at Camp Lejeune. After he answered various questions, we all moved outside to visit and discuss the gardens. He advised us about each one—what thrives at that spot, what doesn’t and why, and suggested alternate plants to consider. At Roosevelt Drive, he agreed that our Bradford pears need pruning back to allow more sunshine to fall on the roses growing there. He even demonstrated pruning them. At the intersection of Pine Knoll Boulevard and Salter Path Road, he admired our Blue Star Memorial marker and urged the use of annuals and perennials to boost all-season color there. He greatly admired the gardens at Mimosa Boulevard and Dogwood Circle, especially the Indian hawthorne and the new pink japonica camellias overloaded with buds. Blooming violas, snapdragons and ornamental cabbage provided seasonal color, and he loved the ornamental grasses in the right-hand garden. At the meeting. President Kay Howe thanked Martha Edwards and her committee for all the work they did beautifying Pine Knoll Shores with wreaths and swags for the Christmas hohdays. Corresponding Secretary Karen Zaenker reported receiving thank you notes from Martha’s Mission, Saint Francis by the Sea Episcopal Church, Hope For The Warriors and the Elizabethan Gardens for the club’s generosity at Christmastime. Horticulture chairman Sheryl Woodbury reported that during the year members of the club have planted two dogwood trees, seven crape myrtles, four oak and four pine trees, 140 shrubs, 235 perennials, 1,344 annuals, 552 wildflowers, 316 vegetables, 146 herbs, 429 bulbs and 38 houseplants. She forwarded these figures to the Garden Club of North Carolina. Ecology chairman Jan Corsello recommended that we continue to place mulch and compost around the base of plants and new trees to help with their growth. Vice President Martha Edwards reminded members that Arbor Day is Friday, March 17, and that we will honor our departed past president, Carol McVitty, at that ceremony. She also reported that the club will visit Redfern’s Nursery to work with succulents during the February 8 meeting. Garden Club meetings are held at town hall on the second Wednesday of each month at 9:30 a.m. for refreshments, followed at 10 by the program of the day. Guests and visitors are always welcome to attend meetings. Lavar Jensen from Carolina Home and Garden Center and Pine Knoll Shores Garden Club member Karen Zaenker- Photo by Jan Corsello
