Windermere Garden Club

Colleen Casey, left, Peggy Collins, Eleanor Neace and Mary Black, of the Windermere Garden Club, enjoyed these cheerful flower arrangements, designed by Tanya Chesire, before delivering to hospices in the area.

The Windermere Garden Club welcomed new and returning members to its first meeting last Thursday.

Attendees discussed eco-friendly treatment of garden pests and diseases and heard from speaker Tom MacCubbin, the Plant Doctor. MacCubbin shared his gardening expertise through his presentation, “Plants that Made Florida Famous.”

The Garden Club strives to deliver flower arrangements to local hospices for patients to enjoy. Garden Club members can sign up to bring at least three small floral arrangements to the scheduled meeting. Flowering plants are also acceptable. Club member Tanya Chesire recently designed cheerful and uplifting arrangements for the Garden Club to distribute to nearby nursing homes.

The Windermere Garden Club meets at 9:30 a.m. the second Thursday of each month.
