We "Planted it Pink" for Winter

We "Planted it Pink" at BJC Progress West HealthCare Center in O'Fallon, Mo.

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... y refreshed the "Plant It Pink" planter at BJC Progress West HealthCare Center in O'Fallon, Mo. with a pink winter 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 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.
