For the clay today
PALATKA – On Nov. 18, at Ravines State Park, garden clubs across northeast Florida gathered for a day of education, social gathering and Christmas shopping.
The theme of the day’s discussions was the ecological principles of gardening and the beautiful natural surroundings of the park provided an excellent backdrop. Each club came with items to sell and created a mini Christmas bazaar for everyone to enjoy. It was a day full of information, meeting friends and great bargains on garden-related Christmas crafts. Everyone left satisfied with this plunge into the Christmas season. At this time of year, we reflect on the meaning of being together. Simple, everyday activities help us realize how important we are to each other and how much ordinary things in life can mean a lot. The members of the Garden Club of Fleming Island were very grateful to all of our “community friends” who support his work and come to our events.
There will be no public meeting for the Fleming Island Garden Club. The group will organize its Christmas party for the members. But be sure to mark your calendars for a spectacular presentation on the easy, down-to-earth propagation of roses on January 9 at the Fleming Island Library.
