The Garden Club of Woodbridge held its Annual Luncheon on June 4 at Birchwoods at Oak Lane in Woodbridge. The event was well attended and everyone enjoyed the Silent Auction, raffle and design segment. The designers were Federated Garden Club judges and prize winners Barbara Bosco, Leslie Martino, Cindy Marien, and Sharon Bender (left to right in photo), who are also members of the Garden Club of Woodbridge. They made different Creative arrangements with the same plant material: Aspidistra leaves, Birds of Paradise, Cane, Liatris and Stock. Leslie used an armature (an armature is a mechanic produced by the designer for supporting blossoms in a floral arrangement). A raffle was held for the designs, and 4 lucky winners took home these beautiful, unique floral arrangements.
The Silent Auction, a successful fundraiser, featured donated gifts from members and many local businesses. The Garden Club of Woodbridge is most grateful for the community's support of this event. Proceeds are used to further the Club's primary activities: educational programs, civic beautification, horticulture therapy and a scholarship for an eligible graduating Amity High School student.
