On March 5, 2016 our Woodland Restoration Project received the ‘Protecting Tomorrow Today’ Award from the Ontario Parks Association at their meeting in Burlington, Ontario. Two of our members, Marguerite and Roseann, who have been involved with the Woodland for many years made the trip to Burlington to receive this award.
Our March General Meeting saw Diane Spalding create several designs on the theme ‘Spring is Around the Corner’. Sandy Levin was our speaker at our Horticultural Meeting and he gave a very interesting presentation about the ‘Natural Areas in and around London’.
On March 24, we had Ursula Eley present a workshop on Kinetic Designs – Mobiles, Stamobiles and Stabiles which we enjoyed very much.

We have been busy with booths at two events in April. The first was at the ‘Go Wild Grow Wild’ event put on by the Canada Carolinian Coalition on April 2. We gave away 75 Red Oak trees and 30 White Spruce seedlings.
From April 15 to April 17 we are at the London Home and Garden Show. Sixteen of our members entered the London Horticultural Society’s Flower Show at this event with all seven classes being won by a Garden Club member.
Nine Garden Club members are presently taking part in Course 11 which is being taught by two of our members, Jeanne Anne and Lynne.
We enjoyed hosting the GCO General Meeting on April 4 even though the weather prevented some GCO members from attending. We had a very enjoyable day with Mary Dann of Springhill Flowers giving us a wonderful demonstration with the theme ‘Enchanted Forest’. We are looking forward to the GCO AGM on June 6 where 10 of our members will receive their judges’ qualifications.
Respectfully submitted,
Sandra Wilson, President
