Parkland Garden Club members Megan Stanley, Mary Stanley, Deb Pinto and Evelyn Broad hosted a St. Patrick’s recycling horticultural activity with South Whitehall Township senior activities group.
The first project shared with them was planting a succulent garden in an antique teacup and saucer. The succulents were Lace Aloe, Ghost and Burro. This Burro plant is a descendent of over a sixty year old plant.
The second project was a water garden of Pothos cuttings in a Ball canning jar. Participants were also taught how to create a florist's bow. We ended with a fun quiz. It was a very enjoyable afternoon☘️
