In February 2025 we held our Annual Floral Design Luncheon and were delighted to learn from Michelle Lerulli of Seasonal Scapes LI how to create beautiful floral bouquets; a selection of which can be seen below and when you scroll all the way down, you will find the recipe for our famous carrot salad!

The Garden Chapter aims to enhance the knowledge of flowers, their care and maintenance, within a friendly social setting for its members. The Chapter members partake in lots of fun workshops and trips, and also hosts the annual Floral Design Luncheon in February.

The Chapter generally meets at the Community House at 10:00am on Tuesday or Wednesday. Tentative dates for the 2024-2025 season will be posted on the Calendar and in the Newsletter.
