Celebrate the Gardens of Windham with the Garden Club of Windham CT

The Garden Club of Windham Connecticut is having a social event to "Celebrate the Gardens of Windham." I volunteered to help. Yes, I know. Why did I volunteer? Well, it is for a good cause and what I was requested to do is right up my alley. Besides assisting in the planning, my job is to create beautiful flower posters for advertising that will subsequently be used as door prizes at the event. In addition I will create flyers to post around town.

Our Garden Club takes care of several public gardens in the town of Willimantic. The care of these gardens is an important part of the mission of the club. We want to beautify the city which is the heart of Windham. The centerpiece of our gardens is The Garden on the Bridge which is a garden created on the small outdated bridge when the larger replacement Frog Bridge was built.

We will be celebrating the bounty of summer and the beauty of gardens in an elegant setting at 750 Main Street, September 21, 2016, 7-8:30 pm. There will be piano music by Ruth Hartunian-Alumbaugh and a special presentation by member Faith Kenton about the Willimantic Public Gardens.

And by the way, the beautiful floral art work of Nancy Olivia Designs will available for purchase.
