GLENMOORE GARDEN CLUB: Glenmoore, PA

Chuck & MaryAnn Zeider's home: old log cabin with addition: if you are 5' 10'' you need to bend to go through the doorways. (Foreground: Chuck with Verna DeGazelle; background: MaryAnn in blue with Shirley Albert)


The second Tuesday of each month the Glenmoore Garden Club meets at a member's home. As you will notice from the photos food is a priority! Meetings and programs vary depending on the season. Some examples include: a tour of a member's gardens or public/private gardens, community service, speakers arranged/chosen ahead by the Club, exchanging plants. We are considering getting involved in the Philadelphia Flower Show. In October the Garden Club goes to a nursing home and helps each resident make a flower arrangement in a small pumpkin. Recently the Club has established the giving of a monetary award to a high school student who is interested in enviornmental studies.
May's meeting was at the home of Chuck and Dr. MaryAnn Zeiders. The speaker was Pam Baxter regarding organic gardening; and, how to grow vegetables in pots. Pam is a journalist for the Daily Local News out of West Chester, PA. and an avid gardener. Phyllis Giunta's birthday was celebrated as well.
