Arrangements Outstanding by the Monroe Garden Club
Four College Heights Garden Club members furnished seven notable flower arrangements for the Fifth District Garden Center Program. The event featured designs by Mrs. Vernon Whitlock, Mrs. J. E. Braley, Mrs. H. F. Shepard, and Mrs. E. E. Moncla, each using gardens’ own blooms in varied styles from informal patio to formal vases. A poem by Mrs. Mabel Wacer and a note on Wednesday’s Lakeshore Garden Club program closed the report.
