Rehoboth Garden Club News

As Fall begins, so does another season for the Rehoboth Garden Club. Members recently enjoyed a kickoff potluck luncheon, where upcoming meetings, field trips and special events were announced. The first outing of the season was a trip to the Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation, in Johnston, Rhode Island. Members and guests took a guided tour and learned a great deal about the state of the art recycling and landfill facility.

On Monday, October 1, 2018 at 10 AM, guest presenter Becky Webster will guide members through the process of creating dried hydrangea wreaths. Members are reminded to bring hydrangea flowers, clippers, wire, and a large trash bag to the Carpenter Museum. A continental breakfast will be served during the monthly business meeting.

The community is invited to a special evening program on November 1, 2018, 6 PM, at the Carpenter Museum in Rehoboth. We are fortunate to host Rehoboth resident Sheila Bouchard, owner of Designs by Sheila, as our guest presenter. Sheila will demonstrate how to create beautiful and unique floral designs for the upcoming holiday season. There will be opportunity drawings for all her creations. Mark your calendars for a night of creativity and delicious refreshments. Guest fees of $5.00 will help support our scholarship, education and civic programs.
