Musings from our President
Greetings of June,
May’s membership meeting with Grace and Renee’s delightful flower arranging duet set our landmark 90th anniversary season off and running, and with it, the countdown to our 100th began.
A heartfelt thank you to those of you who have already sent a page or two for our 90th-anniversary scrapbook - including all of the above: memories, observations, photos and artistic renderings. And a nudge to those of you who have yet to do so, please! This scrapbook will be a reflection of all of us today, members of Adirondack Garden Club 2018, and as such will set much of the tone for our journey down the “Road to 100.” Yes, it will join our beloved archives, but prior, we will scrutinize it for all the right reasons. I so look forward to receiving your sentiments … and then some.
Meanwhile, scroll on down a bit, please, and RSVP asap for our June Pruning program (a great one for introducing guests) and for our 90th Anniversary kickoff event in July. Your response is critical to the success of these events, and we hope to see everyone in attendance.
Cheers,
Nancy

Visit to Entayant Gardens
Saturday, June 23, 2018
1:00 - 5:00 PM
Rain date: June 24
|
The Visiting Gardens Committee has planned a very interesting opportunity to visit Entayant Gardens. At the end of Tebbet Road, on the shores of Rainbow Lake outside of Saranac Lake, Don and Yvonne Busch have crafted an “unlikely paradise” from the sandy Adirondack landscape to capture the peak of their peony bloom.
|
|
|
There are 24 varieties and shades of peonies (yellow, pink, red and white) and over 400 individual peony plants at various stages of bloom. During this all-day event peonies will be sold, a workshop offered on all aspects of peony planting and care, as well as a garden tour of their new fountain, stream, waterfall and water lily pond.
Admission is $10.00. Information about time and directions to come later.
Please call Katherine Houseal, co-chair, Visiting Gardens Committee if you interested in joining the group. Katherine's phone: 518- 962-2677 or email Katherine by clicking
