Americana Garden Clubbing

Garden Clubs across the USA are bringing out their spark and creativity and letting their patriotic spirit thrive and bloom in floral art.  Whether it is a casual or more structured design, these inspirational arrangements shout “Let Freedom Ring”.    We have posted several more examples on our Facebook page titled....

The Potting Shed Series

The Chester Garden Club recently started their Facebook page and among other things, will be highlighting members’ plantings and gardens.  We are beginning a gardening series called “The Potting Shed”.  For more information and more pictures (There are 7 day lily pics), please go to the Chester Garden Club, Chester, VA.  FB page.

Potting Shed Series #1

The Potting Shed series is created to showcase gardens and plants that are grown by garden club members and their friends.   It is an ongoing pictorial journal that will hopefully encourage viewers to try new ideas and new plants in their gardens in the central Virginia area.  The following day lilies were grown at the home of club member, Mary Musselwhite.  As you can see she has several beautiful and different cultivars. For more info or more pics, see the Chester Garden Club, Chester, VA Facebook page. (Name and photos used with permission).

Come on Over and Visit!

The Chester Garden Club has created a Facebook page to showcase floral designs, horticulture and new club events.  It is only two weeks old, but seems to be drawing attention and community curiosity.  Our most recent FB post was about designing Patriotic flower arrangements for the 4th of July.  If you are curious to see us in action, please search for Chester Garden Club, Chester, VA on Facebook.
