LATEST NEWS!
11/11/24 - Happy Veteran's Day! Hope to see you all at the meeting tomorrow.
Hayden Meadows Elementary School has provided us a few pictures of their gardening program in action. Teacher, Vern Harvey, announced, “Hayden Meadows plants daffodil and tulip bulbs this Fall with the intention of forcing them to bloom early. The daffodils will be used in classrooms for math and science. We call this February Daffodils. The tulips will bloom just in time for Valentine’s Day and will be distributed to assisted living facilities (an annual giving event at Hayden Meadows Elementary School). We can do these extra important activities thanks to the support of the Coeur d’Alene Garden Club.”
10/16/24 - Time to get your sprinklers blown out! And, time to look ahead toward our next meeting on Tuesday, Nov 12 at 1pm at the CDA Library. Elections, bylaws vote, discussion about the Seattle Flower & Garden Show, and (similar to our fun Valentine's member mixer) a hands-on play with Ikebana flower design.
10/5/24 - Get ready for a blooming good time at our next Garden Club meeting on Tuesday, October 8 at 1pm at the CDA Library! We're thrilled to have Ellen Krehbiel joining us to share her 35+ years of Ikebana expertise. Imagine diving into the fascinating history of Ikebana, learning the basic design concepts, and discovering how to bring this beautiful Japanese art of flower arrangement into your own home.

Congratulations to the winners of the Big Tomato Tango! It was a fun
event and one we're planning to repeat next summer!
Get more involved with the Club! Believe it or not, your board members
are already looking toward planning for next year! Do you want to step up
and do more with your garden club? You are needed! I hope you will consider
taking on a board member position or volunteer to be on a committee. This is
a fantastic way to serve your club and make new connections with other garden club members. I can tell you I personally have benefitted in so many ways during this year serving as your president. If you're interested, seek out any board member for more information or send us an email.
