Brick Township Festival of Trees!

The theme for the 2022 Christmas tree is "Winter Wonderland" Sue Fevola, Nancy Strassheim and Paula Kocmalski made 64 snowmen and snow-women. In addition to the snowmen/snow-women the tree has lots of snowflakes with a scattering of blue and silver ornaments, white lights and finished off with white embossed ribbons and a silver star. Lots of white packages adorned with big blue bows finish the look. Sue and Nancy decorated the tree.

June Meeting’s Special Speaker!

Although we do not normally arrange a speaker at our June meeting, this year we had a brief presentation by a Girl Scout, Sofia. She is working on a project to earn her Silver Award and reached out to us about coming to one of our meetings. Sharing what she has learned and raising awareness about wild bees and bee hotels has helped her in fulfilling the requirements to earn the award.

2020 Town Hall Holiday Tree

Beautiful fall iris photos from Mary LaPolla! It pays to come to meetings!!!!

I believe it got the rhizomes from the irislady that we had as a quest speaker a few years back. Last year in November a white iris bloomed (the white one has a bud on it as well). This year I have a hearty stem of four buds and the first to bloom today is this gorgeous purple one. What a way to start my morning!! In November no less!

2018 Merry Christmas Tree

Every year the town Recreation Department gives organizations in the community a challenge to decorate a Christmas tree in the Municipal Building. This year’s theme was “movies”. Our Garden Club chose the movie “Secret Garden”. Jamie Cook usually heads up this committee and being that Jamie is under the weather Bonnie Chankalian headed up the committee to master the decorating. However Jamie did supply the flowers. The tree was decorated on Thursday, Nov 29 by Bonnie, Barbara Laura, Nancy Strassheim and Mary LaPolla. Thank you for your creativity! Please stop by and see it!

NY Botanical Garden Trip

The Brick Garden Club traveled to the Bronx NY Botanical Gardens to view their gardens and the Dale Chihuly Glass Art Sculptures. It was an awesome trip with a private narrated tram tour of the gardens and sculptures. Lunch and shopping was at Arthur Ave; Bronx' s "Little Italy" with delicious food and Italian delicacies. It was a pleasure planning this trip for this enthusiastic group of gardeners. Thanks also to our great bus driver Gary from Triple D Travel

Thank you!!

Our 2 new members, Nancy Strassheim and Pat Rosace came to the rescue of our wilting flowers on Brick Blvd n Rt 70 by locating the hoses and giving them a good dousing . You're the best ladies! We are happy to have you both as members.
