We "Planted it Pink" at Progress West HealthCare Center. What a summer we are having! The drought has lingered longer than ever before 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 summer design with drought tolerant plants of Portulaca, Elijah Blue fescue, Lantana, Dusty Miller, Mediterranean Vining Vinca and Lambs Ear fill the planter and thrive in the 100+ degree weather. 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 2012 Membership Chairman, Jean Davis at 314-605-8563.
