Rehoboth Garden Club News

The Rehoboth Garden Club has a wonderful assortment of programs coming up. Mark your calendars for the following events.

On Monday, October 2, 2017 at 10 AM, we will host Peter Alden, who's topic will be, "The Invasive Alien Plant Crisis in Massachusetts". Mr. Alden is a world renowned naturalist, invasive plant expert, lecturer, author and ecotourism guide. He will teach us to identify the invasive trees, shrubs, vines and wild flowers in our area, discuss control options and the possible need for legislation to eliminate them. This program will be held at the Carpenter Museum, 4 Locust Ave., Rehoboth, MA. Refreshments will be served. The public is invited to this informative lecture. A $5.00 guest fee supports our scholarship, civic and educational programs.

Blue ribbon winning floral designer Barbara Blossom will be our guest on Monday, November 6, 2017, at 6 PM. She will be teaching us how to create several holiday arrangements, from a double cornucopia for Thanksgiving, to a New Year's dazzler. Barbara's "out of the box" styles are sure to delight. Her engaging personality sparkles in her designs. The public is invited to learn, laugh and enjoy refreshments with us at the Carpenter Museum. There will be a $5 fee for guests. You might be lucky enough to win one of the drawings for Barbara's creations!

As always, we welcome new members. For information, contact Dianne Burns at 508-336-9933 or dburns54@comcast.net. We hope to see you soon.
