OAGC REGION 7

FALL 2011 REGIONAL MEETING


“WHO’S WHO” was the  theme for the October 26th  Region 7 2011 Fall meeting and flower show held at the Ontario Free Methodist Church in Mansfield OH. Morning program was  “Who’s in Your Garden”, beneficial and detrimental organisms, by Crawford Park District Representative Josh Dyer.
Retiring Director Virginia Sharp concluded business from her term.   She concluded by awarding her annual award to a member who has done something significant to promote Garden Clubs in the past year.  This year the award went to Audrey Spearman of Apple Valley Garden club in Knox County.

Then June Gebhardt presented Virginia with our appreciation for a job well done and a gift from the organization.  She  and her slate of officers deserve  a big Thank You for a job well done!

A wonderful and informative afternoon program was “Who’s in Your Design”.  It was presented by OAGC Design Study Chair, Judge, Naomi Ormes.   She illustrated her tips by using designs from the Flower Show she had just judged.  She was able to show what was done very well and also  what could be done to an arrangement to make it conform to class rules better.

A creative ambiance was set by Ganges Garden Club members.  Amanda Lantz and husband Steve welded a variety of scrap metal containers, in which Amanda and club members Judy Hess and Barb Lantz created an array of floral arrangements.

At the conclusion of the meeting these beautiful table centerpieces and assorted arrangements were auctioned with proceeds above cost being donated to the regional treasury.   Many Thanks to all involved for this wonderfully creative project.

The Flower Show was wonderful.  See Fall Flower Show page for results.   Also visit   our Facebook Page for slide show of pictures.
