We “Planted it Pink”
at BJC Progress West Hospital

We “Planted it Pink” at BJC Progress West Hospital in
O'Fallon, Mo. For summer.

The drought has lingered longer than ever before this year,
the winds are hurricane force but that didn't discourage the Fleur de Lis
Garden Society members.  The Fleur de Lis
Garden Society refreshed the “Plant it Pink” planter with a summer design.  The planter can be seen by passersby outside
the cafeteria and from Hwy 40.

To provide encouragement and a note of cheer to women
dealing with breast cancer, the “Plant it Pink” project was initiated in 2009
by the National Garden Clubs, Inc. president, Renee Blaschke, of which Fleur de
Lis Garden Society is a member.  Club
members keep the planter, “in the pink” by planting new designs appropriate for
each season.

The Fleur de Lis Garden Society holds monthly meetings and
also meets for additional programs, trips and projects.  Drop-ins and new members are welcome.  For more information, visit their website at www.fleurdelisgardensociety.org
