Forbes Garden Club Report

June 13, 2024 by Elvy Quirk

The Club’s monthly meeting was held on 28th May at the home of Peter and Meg Scholefield, where beautiful weather was the order of the day.

President Margaret welcomed members and Secretary Robin bought along the Gar­den Clubs of Australia magazine to show members that we had an article in the mag­azine about our 70th Birthday luncheon which was written by past President Elvy.

David was a very informative speaker and on behalf of the Garden Club David was thanked and given a small token of appreciation by Robyn Mattiske.

Flower of the month was won by Denise Thurston with a Chrysanthemum, second to Sylvia Glasson for a Rose, and third to Marie Langfield for a Rose.

At the conclusion of the meeting a dis­cussion was held and Elvy Quirk has been nominated to buy the raffle prizes, vouch­ers and/or gifts for the host gardens and the guest speakers.

Our next meeting will be at the Men’s Shed on 25th June at 2pm. Members are encouraged to support Flower of the Month, and bring one stem of a flower along with your name and the name of the flower un­derneath the container.
