Many thanks to Ann Simpson and Barb Kenney who marked the beginning of Spring with a day of cleaning and adding new plants at the Sundial Garden at Eden Gardens State Park. The garden survived the cold winter with few problems, Ann says. She invites all Seagrove Garden Club members to visit the garden in a few weeks to see how the new plants have filled in.

Michael D. Smith was preaching to the choir Wednesday and the choir loved it. “Flowers can change your day,” Smith told Seagrove Garden Club members meeting at The Barclay in Santa Rosa Beach.
Smith, head floral designer at Artistic Designs Unlimited in Marianna, said he began to understand the power of flowers when he was just 12 years old, growing up in the Florida panhandle. Today, Smith teaches floral design and enjoys participating and judging professional floral competitions. Basically, Smith lives and breathes floral design and loves educating all who will listen, from beginners to seasoned experts.

Last week, we had a rainbow of colorful roses. Thanks to all the members who show up early, bring greenery, set up tables, arrange flowers, cut oasis, make bows and handle so many tasks, then help clean up or deliver flowers. Let’s do it again next week!
