Grafton Garden Club Annual Meeting and Tea

On June 10, 2008, the Grafton Garden Club held their annual meeting and tea. This year, the Club toured three Grafton gardens with a progressive dinner. At the first stop on South Street, the Club wandered around the backyard admiring the different plants and enjoyed the hors d' oeuvres brought by members. At the second stop, just right up the street, the Grafton Garden Club members admired the herb gardens and partook of the wonderful dinner catered by Loaves and Fishes in North Grafton while seated outside in wonderful weather. The heat of the week was countered by the gentle breeze, making for a bug free event. The third and final stop provided desserts and an opportunity to see the gardens before settling in for the annual meeting where the new officers were elected and a recap of the previous year and a preview of the coming year was presented. Some of the activities planned for the upcoming year include a presentation on Herbs in conjunction with the Historical Society and the Willard House, a freshs Holiday Centerpiece workshop, a Holiday Centerpiece contest during Grafton Celebrates the Holidays, a presentation of succulents and cacti, a dinner and presentation on "Wildflowers of Grafton", a workshop on Native American Herbs and smudging, as well as the annual Grafton Community Day, the annual Plant Sale and Raffle, and a Garden in the Woods tour. Then, in June of 2009, we'll have the annual meeting and tea again. The Club year runs from July 1 to June 30, so if you want to join now is a good time.
