African safari presentation - (March 2015) by Frank and Bob

Amazing photos and video of Africa.  The views of the nature and people of Africa were just like National Geographic.  Thank you Frank and Bob for such a wonderful presentation.  I would love to go there!

Dottie made delicious Irish soda bread, I could have eaten the whole loaf.

John Passander brought this amazing plant, look at the buds.

Joan made a nesting ball for birds.  I can't wait to make one.
A great evening!

I wish I had John Passander's green thumb.....

Planting at the Newtown Ambulance Center

The design and plants are chosen for the new Newtown, CT ambulance center.    
The bulk of the design at the center are larger sized box woods  and smaller plants.
Volunteers from the Horticulture club help to plant at the new facility 
This is a great project for our town and your help is greatly appreciated by the Ambulance Center and those who benefit from it 24/7. 

If you are interested in helping in the future please contact Joan Cominski.
