We'd like to thank everyone who helped with our 2026 Garden Party on Sunday, especially our sponsors and everyone who came. We think it was a return to form for our annual event, but judge for yourself in the smiles in these pictures.
We did hear a couple of questions about an indoor garden party. Truthfully we did plan a traditional party, but we lost our location earlier this year and we decide to use Wilson Arts. We owe a great deal of thanks to our board vice president, John Kirk of The Kirkโs Flowers, LLC, for doing his magic to bring the outdoors inside; we think he did a fantastic job.
We are actively searching for a good garden location for 2027. If you would like to volunteer your property, we will bring the party and clean up afterwards. Reach out to John or board president Tracey Briscoe Barnes.
Do you have other ideas you'd like us to consider? Best way is to join us! We are staffing committees now and planning other educational and fun events later this year. Members get the first word on all events. There are links to join on our page and website.
Again, thanks to everyone who attended! It's the start of an exciting year for our group, and we do want people to consider starting or renewing memberships.
