On a sunny June afternoon, members of the Driftwood Garden Club of Marblehead gathered for their annual business meeting and traditional lobster roll luncheon.
President Joy Purdin reviewed the years activities and then members, old and new, voted on changes to our by-laws and then voted on the upcoming roster of officers and committee members. Our Treasurer Laurie Boggis announced the good news of the most successful plant sale ever.
Our historian Ginny von Rueden will spearhead a project to archive the history of the Driftwood Garden Club since its inception in 1952. Old newspaper articles, photos, and scrapbook pages will be scanned and uploaded to our website for all members to enjoy in the future.
In what has become a new tradition, the ‘Unsung Hero Award’ was bestowed on member Kathy Bradford of Bradford Design Associates for her tireless work planning the outdoor space of the (soon-to-be-completed) Abbot Public Library. Kathy has devoted countless hours working with library committees to choose an attractive and sustainable landscape. The Driftwood Garden Club is pleased to contribute funds to make Kathy’s design plan a reality for all to enjoy.
We look forward to our camaraderie and gardening over the summer months. May your gardens bloom!
