Open Garden Day 2022
Open Garden Day 2022
The final open garden for 2022 and the last district to visit as part of Show and Grow will be on Saturday, September 10, at Lynette Gaslin's home on Verona Island. The early September date will be perfect to see what vegetables Lynette is harvesting from her raised beds. But that is not all there is to see! There are sunny borders, interesting shrubs, and lots of flowers in containers.

Lynette is a member of the Bucksport Garden Club and former St. Croix District Director. Fellow club members have pitched in this summer to help in her garden. Other St. Croix club members will be helping at the open garden.

Dear Phyllis (St. Croix District Director),
Dear Phyllis (St. Croix District Director),
Thank you for the big role you played in making the open garden on Saturday such a success. Everything went flawlessly. It seemed that your district had thought of everything and put out the biggest welcome mat of any district during the 2 year project. The hospitality your members contributed was very much appreciated.

I am so happy that the project I envisioned as president was able to visit a garden in every district and bring quality programming. Thank you for your part in organizing it in your district. I hope that St Croix members who attended but aren't officers can see the value of what a statewide organization can do. I also hope St Croix members who worked so hard now look back on the weekend with pride and had a chance to enjoy themselves on Saturday and learn something from the programs.

Thank you also for sending the photos.

I hope Lynette can now look back on a job well done, a well tended garden, proof that she has great garden club friends, and can be satisfied!
