Please join us for a peek at a Florida landscape 23 years in the making.

Deb Dekeuleneare will be hosting December’s Cocktails in the Garden.

I will share how I moved here in 2001, clearcut and sodded a double lot then decided it would be best for my pocketbook and the environment to restore it back to its glorious Florida heritage. I will share much of what you will need to know to start a butterfly garden, drive the neighborhood the evening before trash pick up to repurpose and even show you how you can have a she shed of your own.

The host would like, weather permitting, to extend the evening and light their repurposed fire pit. Sturdy comfortable and closed footwear required along with a chair and a desire to have more fun. See you there.

“Cocktails in the Garden” is an event exclusively for members. Spouses are welcome to join. Think of it as
part Garden Tour and part Happy Hour. We kindly ask everyone to bring a dish to share and their favorite
beverage. Please bring ready-to-eat finger foods that don’t require refrigeration or heating. We’ll start the
garden tour once everyone has gathered and grabbed a drink and a snack. During the tour, the host will
talk about their garden, plants, successes, challenges, failures, and future plans. It’s a great opportunity to
exchange ideas and advice, have fun, and get to know each other better. Please bring a chair.
