The Forest Hills Garden Club was organized in
1998 by a group of women with a shared interest
in gardening. The organization is
informal and does not elect officers. But
the following members assist in planning
meetings and programs and may be contacted
regarding membership. |
MEMBERSHIP AND DUES
We collect dues of $35.00 each year in
September. Our membership is open to
anyone who enjoys gardening. We choose a yard of
the month several times a year to honor the
efforts of our neighbors to keep our community
beautiful.
GARDEN CLUB MEETINGS
We meet on the second Thursday of the month in
homes in the neighborhood. Evening
meetings are from 7 - 9 and day meetings are
from 10:00 - 12:00. Topics are varied and
have included discussions on shade gardening,
tree health, herbs, yoga for gardeners,
landscaping, caring for orchids, etc. We also
plan field trips that pertain to gardening.
YARD OF THE MONTH
The Yard of the Month is a way of recognizing
neighbors that go above and beyond in the
landscaping and gardening. A yard is
selected each month based on:
|
Landscape renovation - major or minor |
 |
General appearance |
|
Newly planted trees as it is
important
to keep the forest in Forest Hills. |
Seasonal color |
Nominations can be made to any of the members
of the Garden Club for consideration of Yard of
the Month.
