Garden club practices floral arranging
After reading the Club Collect in unison, Hilda Cantrell shared information from the District II Spring Membership meeting held at Cheekwood in Nashville. It was attended by Mrs. Cantrell and Martha Gillespie, club president.
Special project ideas were discussed by the attendees and club members welcomed two guests, Debra Grepperud and Robbie Straub.
A flower arranging workshop was led by Mrs. Cantrell, who demonstrated the mechanics, containers and materials to be used. After the program leader created various floral arrangements, club members and guests chose containers and material in order to make two or three arrangements each during the remainder of the afternoon.
John Ewing, son of the late Ruby Ewing, had given the club some of her collection of line material including driftwood, roots and so forth, in addition to needle points and needle point cups for each member to take home for future use.
A light meal was enjoyed at the Bird’s Nest during the lunch break.
