PLAQUEMINE GARDEN CLUB UPDATE JULY 22, 2020
Dear Ladies,
We MISS seeing you and hope that you are well and quarantining safely. Your Board met on Tuesday, July 14, 2020, to discuss our plans for this upcoming “year” of Fall 2020-Spring 2021. Given the current situation, we have decided that we should not meet physically for our fall meetings for safety reasons. Neither the KC Hall nor First Baptist Church hall are allowing outside meetings at their facilities at this time.
That said, we will continue to communicate via newsletter and phone calls. Instead of physically meeting with all of us together, we are now planning some exciting projects that all of us can participate individually while “socializing” via phone on the how to’s and outcomes. Some of the ideas so fair include indoor gardening, fall lettuce flowerpots, fall wreaths or door hangings, teacup bird feeders for our yards, peanut butter birdseed pinecones to hang outside your kitchen window, etc. Ideas are always welcomed!
In order to facilitate our monthly projects, the tablescape team that you were on will be your project team for the fall. Tablescape leaders are paired with an officer to help in planning, organizing and assembling these projects to be delivered to you. They will be contacting you before delivering the project for you to do individually. We also have some “door prizes” to award too. Stay tuned for more details as we get into September!
Our Club has not been idle since our March tablescape meeting.
May – Patsy Williams, 58230 Fort Street
June – Frances and Troy Tempanaro, 62765 Bellview Road
July – Rita Lynn and Jackie Jackson, 58350 Bayou Road
Any questions/comments/recommendations are always welcomed. With your help, we can keep “blooming where we are” and look forward to spring!
For Plaquemine Garden Club,
Donna Carville, President

- Gardens of the Month have continued to be recognized by our diligent season teams (spring – Nicole Kessler, Michelle Sanders; summer – Melissa Cain, Linda Drain)
May – Patsy Williams, 58230 Fort Street
June – Frances and Troy Tempanaro, 62765 Bellview Road
July – Rita Lynn and Jackie Jackson, 58350 Bayou Road
- Arbor Day tree planting was a tremendous success, thanks to Arlette Rodrigue. Six crepe myrtles were planted along the fence in the Fort Area city park at the corner of Church and Desobry Streets in between heavy rains.
Any questions/comments/recommendations are always welcomed. With your help, we can keep “blooming where we are” and look forward to spring!
