Dear Garden Club members:
What a dynamic and energetic
organization we have! After 35 years, we
are still a vital contributor to the Seabrook Island community. Over the past year, we have hosted an interesting
speaker series. We have motivated
members to action on a number of activities.
Perhaps the most impactful was the introduction of a Monarch Way Station
to our community. Located near the
Community Garden Plots, the Monarch Way Station is thriving (in spite of our
deer neighbors), and enticing a number of various pollinators. We even spotted a tagged monarch! And perhaps the most important contribution
is raising awareness of the necessity of pollinators in both successful
gardening and our food chain.
We have contributed to our
community in a variety of other ways.
Our community-wide Open House was not only a fun event to celebrate our
neighbors, but we raised funds to support our many philanthropies.
And, while looking back at our
successes makes us so proud, we are looking toward the future this year. We have a number of interesting and inspiring
programs scheduled, as well as fun and educational field trips to look forward
to. We have volunteer opportunities to
serve in our Monarch Way Station and on committees and raffles. And, did I mention fun? From our members’ BINGO night, our holiday
Jingle Mingle, and our Open House, there is lots of laughter and friendship to
celebrate.
We are glad that you have chosen
to be a part of our Garden Club. To get
the full benefit, I would encourage you to sign up to be on a committee and
learn more about how to make an impact.
We are always looking for future leaders, and will nurture your
involvement to help you grow in our garden.
Wishing you a bountiful harvest
of Garden Club fun and knowledge!
Sally Boudinot, President
