Protected: The Gardeners June 2017 Meeting Minutes

(Please note the following corrections from Sidney Spahr to the following minutes which were distributed to you earlier:

Hi Pam,

I just read the minutes and have two corrections. On fertilizer Fund- the gifts were for both Hort and Floral Design (and possibly photography). It may have gotten confused as the last donation was just for Hort Judges as the show was just Hort.

The other is the Magnolia Tribute tea- i was there.

Thanks,
Sidney)

Protected: Pam Thompson Profile

Say hello to your new president Pam Thompson.

I asked Pam some questions that really didn’t reveal this amazing woman, so she allowed me to dig a little deeper and we finally uncovered the real Pam.  Below is her story:

Protected: Introducing Deb Donaldson

I interviewed Deb Donaldson some time ago, but then the flower show arrived and I knew she didn’t want to talk to anyone except her precious succulents where she was preparing to make their debut at the 2016 PHS flower show.  The photo below is not recent, but Deb has captured these wine coolers so many times, the age of the photo doesn’t matter.  Here she is pictured with Wyn Coghlan a former Gardeners president at an awards ceremony at our ...
