A NOTE FROM HAPPY MARSH

Dear AGC members,

I would give anything to be with you to help celebrate our 90th year, but medical issues hold me in Maine. 

I want to thank you all SO much for the absolutely beautiful hanging basket sent to me on your behalf by Nancy Howard. It contains vibrant petunias, verbena, and lobelia. I have hung it off our deck in some lilacs where it looks gorgeous (photo above). I t was so thoughtful and gave me a real boost. 

Have a wonderful time celebrating our very special Adirondack Garden Club. The longer you belong, the more proud you will be of this unique and terrific club.

Happy Marsh
