Instead of the regular monthly meeting at the Bordens conference room, the Whitehall Garden Club (WGC) met at the home of member Karen Nielsen and her husband Travis, looking forward to a sun-filled garden tour.

Thank you! The meeting proceeded, led by President Kathy Ross. The...

Dear Editor, We would like to thank Freedom Floral for donating certain types of flowers to the First and Second graders in the Summer School program at Whitehall Elementary. With such inquisitiveness, the students loved learning about the parts of a flower by actually dissecting the flowers. Hands-on learning is one of the best teaching methods and the students really enjoyed their experiences. The bonus was the tulips were full of pollen for the students to observe. Thank you again, Freedom...
The Whitehall Garden Club met Wednesday, June 5th, at the Borden's Conference Room with their usual "bloom," as well as a delicious morning brunch including a colorful springtime fruit salad, dilled deviled eggs, and a crockpot full of kielbasa. Since June is "Gingerbread Month" (I'm sure everyone knows this), a gingerbread sheet cake with mounds of fresh whipped cream or frosting was devoured, all beautifully arranged for the eye and the tummy. The day's first order was Ann Palmer presenting...

The dwelling can be made from anything! Get creative! Something from nature, or maybe a basket from your garage, perhaps some wonderfully old box you've been saving for just this occasion. Just imagine, create, and build. Your fairy dwelling can be brought to the park on June 22, 9 AM, where you will get a spot to display your fairy dwelling on the...

Spring has sprung if you can use the WGC Brunch buffet table as an indicator. Diane Ward and Mary Baughn set a table to rival any spring garden!

Refreshing and thoroughly enjoyed! Thank you, Diane and Mary... a great way to greet the day. The business meeting was held as a remi...
Top of the mornin' to ya! 'Twas a lovely sight, the breakfast buffet set forth by Glenna Waltee and Joan Myhre.

Interestingly, Shamrocks are not native to Ireland but are used as good luck...

Heidi's "Spot" offers a...
Whitehall Garden Club "Hops" into Fall! The WGC meeting on September 6 started with a wonderful social time, full of delicious dishes created by Diane Ward and Barbara Lien. Members could cozy up to the buffet and enjoy two scrumptious egg dishes, fresh fruit, churro bites, and of course, the usual morning drinks. I say 'usual' because the guest speaker Cathy Hatch had something else up her "sleeve" a bit later. Thank you Barbara and Diane for helping us wake up with a taste of sunshine. The...

On an almost "Spring" day, the WGC met for their June meeting at Borden's conference room. The Social Half-Hour was hosted by Kathy Hatch and Maureen Dawson (and if this reporter wasn't so focused on eating, she would have remembered to take a picture!). The morning treats were just that...a real treat... including a delicious egg bake, fresh fruit salad, and a scrumptious homemade rhubarb cake, albeit the rhubarb was from Butte, none available yet in Whitehall. What a wonderfully fresh and...
