February 14, 2022 - The Center Garden Club met on Wednesday, February 9th, for its regular monthly meeting. Very special guests, President George Washington and wife, Martha (aka Buster and Carolyn Bounds), were in attendance to highlight his birthday and interest in horticulture. Martha shared George's great interest in native trees, gardening, landscaping and farming saying he would use only native trees from the area on his vast acreage.
Following a short business meeting and lunch served by hostesses Robbie Kerr and Sandy Prislac, a program was presented by Don Richey who demonstrated the art of making wreaths and other decorative items from vines and other natural materials; all the while, relating interesting stories of some of his encounters with plants and wildlife while exploring the woodlands. Later, members where invited to make something of their own.
