2023 Evergreen Wreath Workshop

Members enjoyed the holiday spirit all together: sipping cider, singing carols, door prizes, and lots of new friends while handling fragrant evergreen foliage. We were so happy to welcome our guests: Bonnie, Jess, Amanda, Keri, & Olivia, who got right to work with the rest of us and learned some wreath-making skills!

All together we made 3 wreaths for our Cape Clubhouse, 1 for the Guard Shack, 1 for the Broadneck Library, and 1 double-sided wreath for display at State Circle along with wreaths from all the area Garden Clubs. What a fun way to welcome in the holidays!

Plant Sale 2023 is a wrap!

Another May, another epic plant sale! Bringing the very best plants we can find, at the very best prices, to our neighbors here in Cape. Setting up at dawn with our fabulous volunteer helpers, and watching the lines form of our loyal fans, some of them even toting their own wagons! We love seeing our neighbors happily snatching up the beautiful plants we’ve trucked in from the region: colorful annuals, hanging baskets, tomato, veggie, & herb starts, native and Cape-grown perennials that return year after year. Thanks, neighbors, for your generous patronage year after year! Your support allows us to provide to our community 3 speakers, 3 workshops, & 2 dinners, plus Yard of the Month judging and Beautification teams all summer long, as well as scholarships for any Member to become a Master Gardener or pursue other education.
