We "Planted it Pink" for Spring

We "Planted it Pink" at BJC Progress West HealthCare Center.

What a spring we are having!  The rains have  been consistent and some days hit the 70 and 80 degree temperatures but that didn't discourage the Fleur de Lis Garden Society members.  They refreshed the "Plant It Pink" planter at BJC Progress West HealthCare Center in O'Fallon, Mo. with a pink spring design with pink, purple and candy striped Hyacinths and Johnny Jump-Up Violas that were donated last year by Daniel's Farm & Greenhouse.  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 flowers 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  www.fleurdelisgardensociety.org , or contact 2013 Membership Chairman, Jean Davis at 314-605-8563.
