May 2022 Meeting Photos

Many thanks to Mary Wolf for hosting the May Lakeside Garden Guild meeting on her beautiful verandah.  The panoramic views and light breezes made for a comfortable meeting, despite the typical May heat.  

For the first time, the Guild used Zoom for members who were not able to attend in person, and it worked out quite well.  There was discussion on video-taping the meetings for future usage.  (Dare we say that we have joined the 21st Century!)

After the business reports, Cathy Sheehan gave an outstanding program (and wonderful handout - be sure to get one!) on the basics of floral arrangement.  She broke it down into easy-to-follow steps, starting with how to get ideas, to finding material to execute your design, what flowers will last the longest, to caring for your flowers, and yes - even how to transport to a floral show.  There were lots of excellent questions, and discussion of a possible field trip to Tonala to find material.  

Thank you, Cathy, for the confidence boosting program.  The Guild is planning more of these programs in the near future.
