President's Letter - November 2020

Leigh Fabens

Greetings, Garden Friends,

Trees! I have tree news. At our Board meeting this morning the Board voted to go ahead with a tree planting project to commemorate our 100th year of affiliation with the Garden Club of America. A grove of six trees will be planted near the Lower Lake in the chain of lakes the Shakers dammed in the mid-19th century. The space is west of “Lovers’ Lane” and south of the footbridge over the west end of the lake as it empties into Doan Brook on the way out to Lake Erie. This area was hit hard by the microburst in September 2019 and a number of surviving trees are not in good shape. Our trees will be native species.

Five years later that group elected to join the fledgling national organization called the Garden Club of America, an organization that had formed in 1912 to pull together garden clubs from across the United States in a like-minded sisterhood (as it was then) of clubs whose goal was to educate their members and neighbors on botanic, artistic, and conservation topics. Both SLGC and GCA went on to prosper.

They remain strong and are more-than-ever relevant to our community! Here are a few highlights.
