The two projects the Club voted on were:
The Onaway /Lomond Community Garden
The Western Reserve Conservancy Tree Project
San Francisco Zone XII and “How the West is One.” The Garden Club of America Annual meeting was challenging, inspiring, entertaining and absolutely educating.

Read MoreIt’s almost like being there – well, not really. But a few of the presentations Cynthia Druckenbrod and I enjoyed at the GCA’s NAL Meeting are available, as slide presentations, on the GCA website.
