 Junior Garden Club Workshops |
|
|
|
The Wayne Woods Junior Garden Club is open to children in grades Pre-K to 4th. Seven workshops, devoted to crafts, horticulture and floral design, are held each year. Guided by Kim Lageman and Gwen Puglisi, the Junior Garden Club currently consists of 20 children ages 3 through 10. Workshops planned for the upcoming year include: arranging dried flowers, designing holiday wreaths, making snow globes, planting terrariums, creating wind chimes and many other exciting projects. In September, Junior members submitted the garden caps they made for Earth Day in the Longwood Gardens Flower Show in the Youth Class "Paint the Town". Our talented young members won several ribbons for their work, including a blue ribbon! |

Horticulture Workshops |
|
|
Horticulture is a very important topic for us. At each club meeting, we have the opportunity to learn more and ask questions. Our Yearbook contains timely tips on horticulture each month. Several horticulture workshops have been given in the past and each year, we receive “Project Bulbs” to plant. It is interesting to compare how they do in our individual gardens. Last March, Nancy Bruhns hosted a Terrarium Workshop. |

Meeting Workshops |

Each year, several of our monthly meetings are devoted to workshops. In 2009, we made fall door swags and holiday ornaments using natural local materials. At our May meeting, Nancy Morris led a workshop to make beautiful floral topiaries. |

Party Workshops |
|
|
Our June Dinner Committee creates unique centerpieces and party favors for this event. Our 2009 June Dinner was held at the Zodiac Restaurant at Neiman Marcus in the King of Prussia Mall. The tables were decked with a variety of beautiful glass vases containing exotic arrangements of Alliums, Calla Lilies, ferns and leaves.
Our Holiday Party Committee plans the decorations and activities for our December Party. Last year, the theme was Island Holiday Cruise. |
