Brookside Garden Tour:
On very a blustery and cold morning 13 members of the garden club toured the Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, MD. Though we were hoping for a warm, spring day, the weather didn’t dampen a beautiful tour. The tulips and spring plantings were vibrant and beautiful. The trees on the 50 acre property are magnificent and with tranquil walking trails, comfortable benches and a gazebo, Brookside Gardens allows for beautiful viewing.
Business Meeting:
Following the tour, we gathered and President Colet Mitchell thanked Jane Decell for arranging the morning’s fabulous tour.
Jane DeCell reminded us of the upcoming Events and Meetings for the month of May:
*Tregaron Spring Clean - Up Day on May 3rd
*Tour of Gunston Hall and its Riverside Garden May 17th - end of the year meeting. There will be a private tour and a luncheon will follow.
Colet introduced two of our club’s new members: Donna Roberts and Rosa Maria Wallach. It was so nice they were able to join the tour. A special welcome to them both!!
