The homeowners gave a walking tour and narrative of the many beautiful trees, shrubs and flowers within their gardens. Also in July, the Garden Club’s entry in the Chautauqua County Fair, Flowers in Paris, was awarded a blue ribbon for Best in Class.
An October visit to The Basket Barn in Allegany, for a basket-making workshop was a fun event for the club members, where they learned the art of basket weaving and made a variety of unique baskets. Lunch at the Beef and Barrel followed.
At the November meeting, members brought their creative Fall flower arrangements for all to enjoy and critique. Also, in preparation for the holiday season, the group gathered at The Meeting House in Forestville for a wreath-making workshop. A variety of fresh greens, ribbons, pine cones and other dried materials were available for members to create lovely wreaths to adorn their homes for the holidays.
In a long-standing tradition, wreaths were placed on the entrance doors of the Fredonia Opera House to welcome patrons during the holiday season.
