The Bethany Garden Club hosted the Garden Club of Woodbridge on April 8. The speaker, Karen Bussolini, presented "Great Trees and Shrubs for Sustainable Landscapes." Karen Bussolini (https://www.karenbussolini.com/) is a widely-published garden photographer, speaker, writer, NOFA-Accredited Organic Land Care Professional and eco-friendly garden coach. She is now the Senior Horticultural Advisor at White Flower Farm.
On April 30 the Garden Club of Woodbridge took a field trip to ColorBlends House and Spring Garden in Bridgeport. A kaleidoscope of tulips greeted the members. All were enthralled by the beauty of the garden as a landscape architect provided a tour. The property possesses a mansion built in 1903, where various local artists showcase their creativity.
The club's annual luncheon and fundraiser took place on June 4 at the Birchwoods at Oak Lane in Woodbridge. New officers were voted in for the upcoming season, and a delicious lunch was served by the country club. "Flowers with Movement-Trending-Newest Style in How We arrange Flowers" was a hit as Sharon Kohary of Flower Nook in North Haven arranged three gorgeous designs. Members participated in a raffle for Sharon's florals, and also joined in a raffle for the table arrangements. Food-filled baskets, gift cards, flower arrangements and a stunning array of hanging baskets were available for the silent auction. The luncheon and fundraiser were a resounding success.
