The Garden
Club wants you
By Helen Williams
Special to the Rappahannock News
When the words “Rappahannock County Garden Club” appear, do you think of white gloved women with flowered hats arguing over Latin names for daisies and buttercups?
Do you think these ladies spend their time drinking tea in dainty cups and directing the gardener to clip the boxwood and fertilize the day lilies? Well, think again.
For 57 years, the Rappahannock County Garden Club has been meeting monthly, raising money for scholarships, plan* ning and planting gardens around civic buildings, going to classes, bringing in horticultural exhibits, trading plants, and making flower arrangements - and the only gloves in this club are used to hide the garden dirt under our fingernails.
As for flowered hats, several times the members have decorated them for Easter centerpieces, but otherwise rain hats, hair bands to keep hair out of potting soil, and other practical headgear are all that can be seen.
On May 17 at 1 p.m., the Garden Club is having an open house meeting at the Washington Fire Hall to show how the club works, and what educational and fundraising projects it supports.
