On Tuesday, July 11 at 6:00 p.m., Sunnyvale Garden Club is hosting its first summer symposium of the year. We will be creating beautiful coasters for your home (or to give as gifts) using sharpies and alcohol ink art on tiles. The club will provide all the supplies.

This will be held at Barbara Kline’s house. You don’t need to be a member to attend. This is a good way to get to know SGC members in a relaxed, fun atmosphere!

Everyone is asked to please bring a snack to share with the group and Barbara will provide beverages.

At the August 8th Summer Symposium, we will be making cement castings using caladium or small elephant ear leaves. Appetizer type snacks are requested, same as July.

Here are captions from the Ways and Means Committee’s Spring Event.

will talk to us about growing vegetables in containers.  Afterwards, we will present Joan Perry with

a plant for her new garden and share lunch.  We hope to see everyone there.

Twas 2 weeks before Christmas and all through the town,

shopping and decorating and running around.

The tables were set at the Church with care, in hopes all the members would soon be there.

When what would appear as it got close to the hour were all the Garden Club members in Christmas attire.

We all found our seats and were blessed with a bag, lots of surprises inside to be had.

All the tables alive with fun and chatter, suddenly grew quiet and I thought, “What’s the matter”?

I turned around to see with a smile,

the Sunnyvale High School Choir, singing for a while.

The food we were served, was so yummy, we sighed with delight as it found our tummy!

There were poppers, door prizes and the best table prize too.

Announcements and plans discussed for post 2022.

When all the business and festivities came to an end, we gathered our goodies and got hugs from our friends.

As we left out the door, we heard from our hostesses with delight…

“MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL YA’LL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!” Happy New Year too!

The entertainment was so wonderful!! We had a surprise visit from the Sunnyvale High School specialty choir.

With Fall comes the changing of the flowers in the Town East Blvd. median to welcome visitors to Sunnyvale. SGC members Mary Coon, Debbie Wood, Donna Moore, Laurie Sparhawk, Nancy Keim, Darlene Eberwein, Tameka Lewis-Baker, Faye Nabors, and Jeanette Hobbs all participated in this beautification project on October 18^th after Jonie and Matt Johnson trimmed and cleaned up the beds to prepare them for planting pansies.  The ladies also planted pansies and ornamental cabbage in the containers at the Doris Padgett Library and the Fire Station.  In addition, now that the statue and plaque SGC donated in memory of Doris Padgett has been installed, they also planted daffodils and violas in front of the statue by the front door of the library.

June was making Kokedama Japanese plant balls. July was making decoupaged flowerpots. August was making framed art using pressed and dried flowers. Thank you, Barbara Kline, for your wonderful project ideas and the time and energy to put these events together!
