Events and Shows

The Plymouth Garden Club will hold their monthly meeting on Wednesday, March 13, at 1:00 pm, at the Chiltonville Congregational Church.  The principal speaker  will be Christie Dustman, a certified landscape designer and horticulturist.

Christie owned and operated a landscape design maintenance and installation company for over 24 years. She has received many awards for her designs and her personal garden has been showcased on national tours.  Christie will present “Conifers–Heroes of the Landscape”.  Conifers are a unique, versatile, and often misunderstood plant.

A traditional English tea will be served after the meeting.  Guests are welcome to attend for  $5.00 fee.

 

Many Volunteers worked hard on this year’s annual Greens Sale.  It was a success!



 

These are some of the creative designs by Plymouth Garden Club members at the annual Art in Bloom, held in the Plymouth Center for the Arts.

Master Horticulturist

our interesting and informative speaker came to us via the Tidmarsh Wildlife Sanctuary and Manomet Center for Conservation Sciences (formerly Manomet Bird Observatory). Carole spoke to us about plants, especially native plants, that can be used to enhance our ecological systems. The co-dependency of plants, birds, insects and animals truly impact our human life. There is much each of us can do to provide thriving environments for all.  A tidbit of trivia:  the name Manomet is a native American word that means portage path.
