Every year during the first week of June, Wellington Garden Club (WGC) joins with garden clubs across the country to celebrate National Garden Week, a project of National Garden Clubs, Inc. (NGC).
On Monday, June 4, WGC members began National Garden Week by creating floral arrangements that were distributed to Wellington’s municipal offices, library, fire stations and Wellington Green Mall. WGC members are shown here creating arrangements and distributing them to the recipients. The club also received a proclamation from the Wellington Village Council and Mayor Anne Gerwig declaring the week of June 4-10, 2023 as National Garden Week.
According to Carol Ralph, WGC President, “We are so grateful for the support our Club receives from the Village of Wellington. National Garden Week is a wonderful opportunity for us to demonstrate our appreciation with floral gifts.” Twig Morris, National Garden Week Chairman added, “We are also grateful to Rachelle Crain, Marketing Manager at Wellington Green Mall, for providing the meeting room we used to create the arrangements.”
