Members Garden Tour October 2024
/Submitted by Karen Reily, Co-President and Horticulture Chairman
We had the first Member’s Gardens Tour and what success it was!!
All my goals/expectations for the event were exceeded!
Goals:
Share ideas and information on gardening in Florida
Social event for members to get to know each other
Thanks to Bob Busler and Karen Reily for opening their gardens to us.
We had a total of 13 members, both old and new, participate.
Thanks to: Gail Banwell, Barbara Booker, Kim Brewer-Bettencourt, Linda Broadrick, Bob Busler, Pam Cartwright, Lorraine Conover, Pam Dawson, Mary Dean, Marcia DeFalco, Sue Dwyer, Sue Regan, and Karen Reily.
I did a survey after the tours and here are some of the comments:
“Inspirational”
“Learned so much about gardening in Florida and felt so welcomed”
“ I have a list of new plants to try in my garden”
Everyone came away with something, just ask any of the attendees.
We will DEFINITELY have a repeat event in the spring.
Hope to see you there!
