September General Meeting: Dahlia Fall--What to Do? |
October General Meeting: Members-Only Mixer |
|
|
|
Speaker Betsy Szymczak provided a brief history of the discovery of dahlias and their introduction into the American garden. We learned how to select dahlia tubers, where to plant and how to water and fertilize them. Staking or not; digging or not. Storing over the winter and then waking them up. This informative program was followed by a brief discussion of the American Dahlia Society Classification (ADS) and how to enter a Dahlia Show.

Every October, the Needham Garden Club celebrates fall flowers and new members by having a club mixer. The members form groups to design arrangements based on a theme chosen by the Flower Arranging committee. The groups then come together at the October General meeting to make their arrangements. Then they presented them to the membership. Afterward. the group came together for lunch.

Coming Soon: Wreath, Arrangement and Jewelry SaleIt's never too early to start thinking about Christmas. At least that's what the Ways and Means committee says. They have already been well at work making lovely wreaths and holiday items to sell this December 3rd at the Congregational Church on Great Plain Ave. And back by popular demand-the jewelry sale! This could be your one-stop shop for gifts this year. Note: Only cash and checks will be accepted.
