Celebrating our Club Members' Flower Show Successes!

We are delighted to report that in the month of February alone, members of The Garden Club of Alexandria exhibited in three divisions in three different flower shows!

• Lillian Nash and Amy Moyer created a masterpiece arrangement for History Blooms at the Virginia Museum of History and Culture in Richmond.  Photos are in the blog post below.

• Jordan Richards exhibited a gorgeous arrangement in the "Keepsake China" class at the Atlanta Botanical Garden Flower Show.  Jordan's beautiful design won an Honorable Mention!

• Twig Murray exhibited Botanical Arts at the Philadelphia Flower Show, earning a third place ribbon!  Twig's design for the Hippie Chic schedule featured a 1960s-inspired pendant on a "love bead" chain and included a feather constructed from individual strands of milkweed floss.

• Hattie Monks entered 5 plants, including Begonia Escargot, Begonia Sulimutata and Begonia Tiger Kitten, in the Horticulture Division at the Philadelphia Flower Show.  Hattie won one first place ribbon, one second place ribbon and three third place ribbons, and received the Edwin D. MacFarland, Jr. Award for the outstanding Begonia entry in the Horticulture classes!
