The Artful Arrangers

The last meeting was a ton of fun what with the pot swap, tea tasting, yummy noshes, 5 guests and the main event – “Art in Bloom”. The Artful Arrangers, a.k.a our own talented members, was brought to you by the Design Committee. Thanks to Connie for all her hard work on coordinating this event. There were 7 inventive and very different vignettes of cherished objects and arrangements, which were presented by the makers. Here are some snaps. (I have to apologize for failing to get a shot of Lynda’s wonderful “Singing in the Rain” display. She had a song and dance and everything! Please don’t hate me. If someone else got a shot, send it along and I’ll post it separately.)

Exeter Area Garden Club and Rye Driftwood Garden Club hosted an entertaining and informative event on Tuesday, Nov. 19 featuring Roger Swain, former host of the Victory Garden. A large crowd enjoyed the Yankee wit and wisdom and hope to invite him back in the near future. Pictured with Mr. Swain are the clubs presidents, L- Patti Elwell (EAGC) and R-Becky Franz (RDGC).
