Georgetown SC Garden Club

The club’s annual time to decorate The historic Hobcaw House at Hobcaw Barony for Christmas. Fresh greens, dried fruits and lots of personal items from garden club members created stunning results!
Hobcaw provided much appreciated refreshments.

Our speaker for the November meeting was Cindy Clark. She is a volunteer at Brookgreen Gardens, a master gardener, an author of several books and a member of the international Waterlily and water garden society. She shared her knowledge and photographs of the Victoria Longwood Hybrid lily that blooms at Brookgreen in the Pegasus water feature. It was fascinating to learn about this plant and to see the magnificent blooms which only open at night. Her books Jessica’s Tree and The Invisible Lily are for sale in Keepsakes Gift shop at Brookgreen. Great Garden Club presentation!

Great meeting today! Plans for decorating at Hobcaw for Christmas is always an exciting time.
New projects developing and December program will be fun! Details to follow.

Our October meeting was held at the home of club member Mary Jane Wheeling. She demonstrated leaf casting. In addition to leaves, she had perfected stepping stones, bowls, mushrooms and starfish! Her husband and assistant, Ron, is just as talented!
