Designers: Marcia Richard, Angela DeLuca, Karen Frost, and Rosa Johnson Led by Pollinator Garden Co-Chair Littany Hollerbach, members are fresh and getting mentally prepared for the weeding of the Pollinator Garden located at Crofton Library. Member Margo Antonelli just couldn't wait and dived right in. Thank you to Littany for organizing the clean-up and to members Nancy Percivall and guest Yuki Adams, Lauren Toomey, Margo Antonelli and Interim President Trish Demers (not pictured) for helping with the clean-up.
CVGC members Carol Morris and Jane McClanahan were the lucky winners of the ticket drawing to attend the annual May Day Tea hosted by The Garden Club of Old Annapolis Towne at the home at Abby Hutchinson. Carol says it was a wonderful event and everyone was welcoming. She could never adequately describe how beautiful the home and yard was. She also noted the Annapolis club handled a large group of people with ease, there was plenty of food and drink, and fellowship among other clubs and their members. They both had a great time!
Gail Brooks, CVGC Emeritus member, AHS member, and lifelong learner through floral design exhibit and judging classes, brings a wealth of horticultural experience to the CVGC table. From having her first Ikebana class at the base of Mt. Fuji, Japan to her further education in floral arrangements while a member of the Virginia Beach Garden Club, she has accrued knowledge all along the way. And, when growing up, fresh flowers in the home were always a must. Drawing from this experience, she guides members through the process of assembling a unique May Day basket using fresh greens and seasonal flowers. Members participate in a hands-on workshop creating their own joyful and abundant floral designs to display at their homes on this May Day. Photo Credit: Nancy Percivall and Doris Smith
