December Workshop and Pecha-KuchaThis month the Needham Garden Club met virtually and made lovely holiday floral arrangements using antique teacups used decades ago by former garden club members at their meetings. Prior to the actual arranging Margie Hillback spoke about the history of the teacups. The large group was then broken up into smaller teams who were able to catch up with each other. In addition, a short video (called Pecha Kucha) highlighting member's home decorations was shown.

Our own flower arranger extraordinaire, Debbie Kraft, explored new frontiers by presenting to our group by Zoom. Debbie set up a table in her backyard and showed us all how to make beautiful arrangements from flowers in our yards.

October Club Mixer "Covid Style"The October meeting was our traditional Club Mixer but with a twist. We all convened on Zoom, broke into groups and decorated pumpkins using Washi tape.
It's Never Too Early...A group of hearty Ways and Means committee members met to sort four enormous containers of pine cones to decorate for the 2021 Wreath and Arrangement sale. Here they are in action-Covid style!!!

Garden Club News
November Meeting: The Enchanting OrchidThe presentation for our November meeting was a multi-faceted program on the orchid. Our speaker Tom Kuligowski, accredited by the American Orchid Society, began with the history of orchids as depicted in the novel The Orchid Thief by Susan Orleans. Based in South Florida, he is an expert on rare orchids that were discussed in Susan Orleans book. Tom described, with photos, his treks through the Flordia Everglades to search for orchids, such as the rare ghost orchid.
Afterwards, a Garden Club member talked about the caring for orchids in the home. Finally, we watched a slide presentation of unusual orchids prepared and presented by another very talented Garden Club member. Click here to enjoy our program. Flowerpot WorkshopTwenty enthusiastic garden club members convened at a member's garage to learn chalk painting on terra cotta techniques. Everyone had a great time and came home with pots that looked remarkably different than how they did at the start.
