Parkland Garden Club proudly hosted the Patriotic-themed District II/III meeting on June 7th at St. John's Lutheran Church in Slatington.  Participants held a business meeeting at 10:00, then enjoyed soup, salad and dessert for lunch. Afterwards, a highlight of the the day included a floral design program presented by Chris Leskosky, followed by a raffle of the 7 beautiful designs.

Parkland Garden Club members attended the GCFP Convention in Monroeville and enjoyed meeting up with fellow garden club members from other districts in Pennsylvania as well as all the speakers and workshops that were part of the event.

We had 3 entries for the Trash to Treasure Contest from our group at the February meeting.  All had to follow the guidelines below to be considered for the contest. Members who attended the meeting voted on their preferred entry, which will represent the Parkland Garden Club at the contest for District II/III at the meeting in March. 

Update! Nancy Smith received an Honorable Mention for her sculpture entry at the State Convention! Congratulations!
