Read MoreThis year, we are almost all celebrating upcoming holidays with feasts that may be smaller in size than what we have cooked in the past. Our gatherings will be smaller, and our dishes will reflect the size of the parties. So a few ladies of the club have shrunk some of our holiday recipes to suit, and are offering the smaller versions here.

Read MoreGreetings, 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.

Read MoreIn 1915 a group of ladies gathered to plan a garden for installation at the western end of Lower Shaker Lake. This was the first accomplishment of the organization that came to be called the Shaker Lakes Garden Club. 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.
