Annual Plant Sale
The membership finally got to visit with each other for the first time this year at the Annual Plant Sale. It was a beautiful day and the plants flew off the tables. Thank you to everyone who helped make this the best sale we have ever had!
2020 HS Scholarship Winner
Tillie Slosser
The Needham Garden Club Scholarship for a graduating High School Senior for 2020 was presented to Tillie Slosser by Jane Lischewski (on left) and Martha Schleck (on right), Presidents for the club. Tillie is an avid enthusiastic gardener. Jane and Martha presented Tillie with her scholarship in her backyard where she has installed both a vegetable and pollinator garden helping the local bee population as well to grow endangered native pant species. Tillie has taken classes in "Gardening for Pollinators" and "Plants 101" through the Native Plant Trust. Her commitment to the environment will continue with her education at Smith College where she will major in Environmental Sciences and Environmental Policy. Her commitment to the environment even shows in her summer job at the Powisset Farm mentoring young campers and future gardeners. Congratulations to Tillie! We look forward to hearing about all of her adventures as she pursues her future education in Environmental Policy.
Lynne Braley - Our 2020 Unsung Hero
NGC Presidents past and current recently met with Lynne Braley, presenting her with a bouquet of flowers and the 2020 Unsung Hero Award, a certificate of merit for her outstanding service to the Needham Garden Club. This belated recognition was very long in coming. We will honor Lynne as soon as we can all meet together again.
