Oglethorpe Garden Club is busy again.
The Georgia National Fair is in Perry this week. One of the first events held is a special flower show sponsored by the Magnolia and Camellia Districts of the Garden Club of Georgia, Inc. This year the theme is "A Star Spangled Salute."
Our members stepped up to help in the preparation and ex*****on of the event. Tricia Welch served on the official committee checking that each plant or specimen was properly classified and placed in the show. Kenny Welch volunteered to help participants get all their horticulture into the building. Bonnie Simmons and Brenda Smith prepared and served breakfast to the judges and all others working the day of the event. Others served as hostesses and still more entered horticulture in many different classifications. OGC can always be counted on to help.

The Senior Citizens' Center in Oglethorpe was buzzing with activity on May 28 as the OGC brought dirt for those attending to "play in." Each participant chose either a China cup and saucer or a larger coffee mug as a vessel for planting attractive succulent specimens as a take home project.

Bonnie Simmons, Michelle Chase, Fran Dixon, Sylvia Hogg and Marilyn McLendon brought the horticulture workshop to the center and enjoyed a morning with old and new friends.

Wednesday morning was busy at the Butterfly Garden at City Hall in Oglethorpe! The OGC members who could make it brought all their gardening tools, stools and gloves and attacked the weeds. It will take more trips, but they made a difference in 2 hours. As they were packing up, a kind young man named Marcus walked up and volunteered to do the final weed-eating. Oh, his kindness was appreciated!

Our last meeting before summer was held at Chief's Station. This gave plenty of room for member Tricia Welch to share ideas on how to dry flowers and create beauty using them.
