April Showers....2

Welcome Moorestown Garden Club Members!
In an attempt to keep our members up to date with the most current information that might be of interest, I have decided to try a Blog format. I am new at this so please bear with me. I am learning as I go along.

I will try to update when I have information or musings to share with you. I have no idea how often that will be, but I would like to encourage you to check in periodically for news and bits of information that I think should be related. Of course if there is something of importance that everyone should be made aware, I will send out personal emails.

A really cool feature of this blog is the ability to post pictures, and I have some beautiful springtime shots of Carmen's back yard. (I'm not going to use any one's last name on this site because I'm pretty sure it can be accessed by others on the web. I will however, use an initial along with a first name if we have two or more members with the same name.)

I receive so much info from Carmen that she should have her own little place on this blog, maybe called 'Carmen's Corner.' Anyway, this is a wonderful site by professional photographer, Amy Suttyn that she told me about: http://www.sutryn.com/flowershow.html
If you click on it you will be able to see Amy's pictures of the Phila. Flower Show. Almost every arrangement in the design classes is there. Not to mention archives of past shows.

Carmen and I are going to continue to award certificates of recognition to noteworthy front or side yard gardens in town again this year. Look for the recipients in the Sun. The Garden Club of NJ calls this award the 'Random Act of Beauty Award,' but we (Carmen and I) don't like that name. There is nothing "random" about all of the work and dedication it takes to plant and maintain a beautiful garden, so we call it "The Moorestown Garden Club's President's Award for Outstanding Garden." Quite a mouthful I know, but we thought it had a ring of dignity to it.
The reciepient of this month's award is going to a lovely couple on McElwee Rd. They have planted hundreds of daffodils in their woods right along the side of the road. Here are some pics.
