Garden Clubbing.... Let’s Begin. Novice Class

Our Club, as well as yours, I’m sure, have designers that are very skilled at arranging complicated and sophisticated designs.  The ability to take just a few items and turn them into works of art is something they do well.  The Chester GC is blessed to have four master judges in our ranks and they truly are able to make lovely arrangements.  But, we also have a good many novices that are intimidated by it all and so we have created a Novice Class that is mentored by one of the judges.  She has developed a schedule for the club year that progresses through the traditional design types and they meet the day before the monthly club meeting to put them together.  For two years they progress through this class then they advance to the regular schedule.  It works beautifully and creates a cohesiveness in the new members too.  I have created a page on Pinterest that showcases different types of beginning designs.  The Page is called.   Garden Club... Let’s Begin.  I will post the following designs onto that page as well.
