"Let's Bloom Together"
"Keep your face always toward the sunshine, and shadows will fall behind you.” - Walt Whitman
We’re finally beginning to look back on the dark days that we have experienced this past year and are seeing the sun starting to shine through. As in spring, we begin to bloom in mind and spirit. We come together as friends with purpose, hope and gratitude for the coming year.
We hold the things we love much closer to us now, our cherished friends, our families, and the things we love to do most. Our gardens have never looked better, the recipes we have tried taste yummier, and our thoughts about what is meaningful are much clearer.
We live in the most beautiful place on earth and as a group, we want to include the preservation of our natural wonders as one focus this year. With your support and enthusiasm, we want to create a new event for National Garden Club Week in June that will include preservation of our native plants, promotion of our club and support for a local treasure.
As per Mary Warshauer, the new president of the National Garden Club,
“NGC is dedicated to preserving our earth’s natural resources through our communities’ civic beautification and our environment’s conservation. We must continue to raise awareness to safeguard what we hold dear. Each time we share our members’ knowledge and talents in a hands-on community project, NGC has the chance to create long-lasting relationships that will support the environment and enhance our communities.”
Let’s reflect on our purpose as a club, “to promote gardening through the study of horticulture as well as landscape and floral design and as gardeners to educate ourselves and others about conserving our environment.”
By participating in our club, either in person or virtually, we stimulate our minds and feed our spirits.
We look forward to the coming year and a chance for us to meet in person again.
We approach this goal with cautious optimism, knowing that we need to
be open-minded and flexible with the possibilities of change.
Whichever way the wind blows, “Let’s Bloom Together”.
